If you want a hint, the last is something that returns numerical integration algorithm given a string name. Yes, you could use typedefs, but you shouldn't have to.
I don't find *any* of those particularly easy to read in the third case, or even the second. Using typedefs to make the intention clear, even if the syntax doesn't require it, seems entirely appropriate to me.
I am curious, when you read "cdef int * p" do you parse this as "cdef (int*) p" or "cdef int (*p)"
C syntax is sufficiently well embedded in my brain that I parse it as "int (*p)", and read it as "p points to an int" or "p is of type pointer-to-int". But I don't find myself needing to parse "int * p" very often, because I always write it as "int *p", and so do most other people who write C. Whenever I see something like "int * p" or "int* p", it makes me think it was written by someone who doesn't understand C very well. -- Greg _______________________________________________ cython-devel mailing list cython-devel@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/cython-devel
