C通过函数指针（没有它）进行回调。 为什么没有区别？

Question

I cannot understand why different code works as it will be identical.

#include <stdio.h>

void foo() {
    printf("Hello\n");
}

void foo1(void fn()) {
    (*fn)();
    fn();
}

void foo2(void (*fn)()) {
    (*fn)();
    fn();
}

int main(void) {
    foo1(foo);
    foo2(foo);
    return 0;
}

If they identical then why this does not work?

typedef void F1(), (*F2)();

int main(void) {
    F1 f1;
    F2 f2;
    // error: lvalue required as left operand of assignment
    f1 = foo1;
    f2 = foo2;
    return 0;
}

PS

My interest are not in the typedef (second example).
I have questions only about the first example.
That is:

• Function declartions
• Function invocations

Answer 1

You are using the typedef incorrectly. The first F1() is not a function pointer at all. Your second part does correctly provide a typedef for a function pointer (*F2)() , but you fail to include a type. Bottom line, but you don't get 2 function pointer typedefs in one line:

typedef void (*F1)();
typedef void (*F2)();

Will create both a typedef for F1 and a typedef for F2 .

As far as the use of the function pointers, the function pointers may be used with, or without, parens and the dereference.

(*fn)();
fn();

Both are equivalent and simply call the function pointed to by fn .

Answer 2

The lines

typedef void F1();
F1 f1;

do not declare f1 as a pointer. They declare f1 as a function returning void . The equivalent declaration is

void f1();

This can be demonstrated by the following code, which will compile without any errors or warnings. Note that if you comment out the line F1 f1; , then the compiler will complain about "implicit declaration of function f1" and "conflicting types for f1" because you have a forward reference without a declaration.

typedef void F1();

int main(void)
{
    F1 f1;
    f1();
    return 0;
}

void f1()
{
    printf( "hello\n" );
}

On the other hand, the following code will also compile without warning or error, but in this case the compiler treats f1 like a pointer to a function.

typedef void F1();

void foo() {
    printf( "hello\n" );
}

void foo1(F1 f1) {
    f1();
}

int main(void) {
    foo1( foo );
    return 0;
}

Why the difference? Because §6.7.6.3 Function declarators, paragraph 8 reads

A declaration of a parameter as "function returning type" shall be adjusted to "pointer to function returning type", as in 6.3.2.1.
