How to declare an __stdcall function pointer

c++, calling-convention, function-pointers, visual-c++

Solution

As MSDN says, the correct way to write this is

typedef void (__stdcall *MessageHandler)(const Task*);

Problem

I tried this ``` typedef void (* __stdcall MessageHandler)(const Task*); ``` This compiles but gives me this warning (VS2003): warning C4229: anachronism used : modifiers on data are ignored I want to declare a pointer to a function with stdcall calling convention? What am I doing wrong?
