a code below:
struct foo {
void (*pf)(struct foo (*ptr)[2]); /* error */
};
causes to report the following error:
ts.c:4: error: array type has incomplete element type
Isn't the compiler too restrictive ?
Even a typedef is rejected by compiler:
struct foo;
typedef struct foo (*foo_tab_ptr)[2];
typedef void (*pfun)(struct foo[2]);
or a function declaration:
void f(struct foo[]);
