无法在C中定义函数类型

Question

It just confused me:

typedef bool(*pGetNameByPid)(DWORD PID, TCHAR lpszProcessName[MAX_PATH]);

Is there anything with the sentence above? I want to export an function named GetNameByPid from an DLL written in C++. But the compile reports that:

error C2143: syntax error : missing ')' before '*'

Any help?

There is no bool type in C89, which is the C standard that the Microsoft Compilers support. You could use an int or WINAPI's BOOL as the return type:

typedef BOOL (*pGetNameByPid)(DWORD PID, TCHAR lpszProcessName[MAX_PATH]);

To export a function from DLL:

__declspec(dllexport) BOOL GetNameByPid(DWORD PID, TCHAR* lpszProcessName)
{
    /* Do some work */
    return TRUE;
}
