Complex C declaration
(8 answers)
Closed 4 years ago.
I wonder how to read a complex definition like that
int (*(*a())[]) ()) ;
And what is the order of reading such definitions ?
Check this out: https://cdecl.org/. It's a handy tool if you're new at reading these types of functions.

I was browsing the source code for the old MyDoom malware but came across something I've never seen before in line 195 of main.c. There are 2 identifiers before the function name. Can someone explain this to me? I'm only used to seeing 1 precursor identifier being the return type of a function like void func() or no precursor identifier for a object initialization function like classname().
Try not to be harsh on me, I'm new to C and came from Python so I wasn't prepared for a lot of the concepts.
DWORD _stdcall sync_visual_th(LPVOID pv)
{
...
}

Yes, you should use fgets() instead.

Have you considered good old bison + flex? The C/C++ grammar could be very simplified for your needs... I think this is your best option here.

Could anyone give me some hint on how to understand these declarations in C programming. Are they some kind of function pointers?
And read Kernighan and Ritchie; the section on declarators in particular. Keep a copy in your bathroom.

function overloading in C
So I wonder if we can use something like void A(){} and void A(int b){} in same code file?
That's not function overriding, but function overloading.
Anyway no, C doesn't provide it.
The rationale (well, one of them, the one I prefer) is that to provide function overloading you should find a way to give a symbol to a function based also on its parameters, not only on its name.
This would cause a few problems that a low-level language as C wouldn't take.
