I'm afraid it took me so long to reply to this message that I've lost the original. I do remember that someone was complaining that the Unix-PC 7300 C compiler did not work for arrays of pointers to functions. The following small example demonstrates that (at least under rel 3.0) the compiler does, in fact, work. The C declaration for array of pointer to function is not very obvious, so I suspect that there is some chance that the original poster didn't get the declaration right. In any case, the following does work! char *one() {return "one";} char *two() {return "two";} char *three() {return "three";} /* * declare foo as array of pointer to function returning pointer to char */ char* (*foo[])() = { one, two, three }; main() { int i; for (i=0; i<3; ++i) { printf("%s\n", (*foo[i])()); /* prove that it works */ } } -- ******* Corey Satten; John Fluke Mfg.
