Re: Problem with pointer to external function

[Rechberger Markus <mrechberger@gmail.com>]

Hey,

I'd write it like that:

main.c
----
#include <stdio.h>

extern void cb();
void (*callback)()=cb;

int main (int argc, char** argv){
      callback();
      return(0);
}

defhandler.c
----
void cb()
{
       printf("handler\n");
}


$ gcc main.c defhandler.c -o test
$ ./test
handler
