关于const语法的困惑

Question

I'm having some trouble reading a line in a program that looks like this:

char* const *(*next) ();

I think next is a pointer to a function returning a pointer to a const pointer to a char , but I'm still a bit confused. If someone could answer this ASAP that would be great!

Answer 1

cdecl可以帮助您了解C语言中更复杂的声明。

Answer 2

char* const* (*next) ();

You are declaring a function pointer called next that returns a char* const* (pointer to a char* const ). You were right (:

Usage :

char* const* ret = next(); or char* const* ret = (*next)();
