Question

I’m working on the open project gridlabd hosted at sourceforge. I was trying to call the create_thread function: static __inline int create_thread(void * (*proc)(void *), void *arg)

I just don’t understand for the life of me what in the world void * (*proc)(void *) means.

Answer 1

void * (*proc)(void *) is a pointer to a function which returns void* and accepts void* as an argument.
