Cast to function pointer

c, function-pointers

Solution

Yes, it is correct. I find that not very readable, so I suggest declaring the signature of the function to be pointed:

 typedef void sigrout_t(void*);

I also have the coding convention that types ending with `rout_t` are such types for functions signatures. You might name it otherwise, since `_t` is a suffix reserved by POSIX.

Later on I am casting, perhaps to call it like

 ((sigrout_t*) SGENT_1_calc) (someptr);

Problem

I have come across the line of code shown below. I think it may be a cast to a function pointer that returns void and takes a void pointer. Is that correct? ``` (void (*)(void *))SGENT_1_calc ```
