	Take this hunk of code:

#include <stdio.h>

class Test {
public:
  Test();
  ~Test();

private:
  int (*fp)();

  int testfunction();
};

int Test::testfunction()
{
}

Test::Test()
{
  fp=testfunction;
}

Test::~Test()
{
}

int testfunction()
{
}

main()
{
  int (*fp)();

  fp=testfunction;
}


	Why does the assignment in main() compile but the one in
Test::Test() reports "assignment between incompatible pointer types".
I'm using g++ 2.5.6.  Thanks.
