question. But I really wanted to know about a trivial technicality:
gcc doesn't distinguish, for example, between the following
declarations.
int g( int (*const)(int x) );
int g( int (*f)(int const) );
Is this correct behaviour?
In both cases, you are prototyping a function that takes a function

pointer as an argument. In the first case, I believe that you are making
the function pointer const, and in the second case, you are making the

Not having tested it with GCC, but I really think this is a trivial
issue (at least with the int argument). I also think that there is room
for the compiler to misinterpret.
However, if you want to discuss this further we can do it in person. The
BLU is having a BarBQ today (http://www.blu.org). Why not grab the
closest Jet and fly up to Boston :-). The weather is great today.
