>Description:
The compiler raises a "parse error before `)' token" when parsing a function that returns a pointer to function
>How-To-Repeat:
int do_something() { return 0; }
int (*)() problematic_function() { return &do_something; }
>Fix:
Workarounds:
int do_something() { return 0; }
typedef int (*ReturnType)();
ReturnType notProblematicAnymore() {
return &do_something;
}
or if you have a template function and the return type depends upong one of the template parameters:
template<class T>
int do_something(T) { return 0; }
template<class T> class Aux {
public:
typedef int (*ReturnType)(T);
};
template<class Arg1>
Aux<Arg1>::ReturnType notProblematicNeither() {
return &do_something<Arg1>;
}
