I read that A c3(A()); creates a function declaration for a function c3 that returns an A and that takes a function pointer to a function returning an object of type A
I thought pointers had to be indicated by *. Wouldn't the above function declaration be written A c3(A (*()));
Thank You,
Paul

of type "array of T" or "function returning T" is adjusted to be
"pointer to T" or "pointer to function returning T,"
respectively. [...]
