Passing pointer to member functions to member functions.

I thought I had an application for passing pointers to member functions to
other members.  Turns out it wasn't necessary, but I was UNABLE to get the
compiler to even THINK about letting me pass them in without introducing a
typedef.  The ARM isn't at all clear on this and my other reference books
didn't help either.

Is the typedef necessary?  If not, what would the correct syntax for the
following be without it?

class a ;

typedef void (a::*foo)() ;

class a 
{
public:
	void bar(foo) ;
} ;

void a::bar(foo function)
{ 
	(this -> *function)() ; 
} ;


Thanks for the help.
