Question

typedef bool (*Foo)(Foo a, Foo b);

How do you declare a function pointer that accepts itself in its parameters?

Answer 1

Indirectly:

struct Foo{
  typedef bool (*FooPtr)(Foo a, Foo b);
  Foo(FooPtr p)
      : p(p)
  {}

  bool operator()(Foo a, Foo b) const{
    return p(a,b);
  }

  FooPtr p;
};

struct Bar{
    Bar(Foo f)
        : some_callback(f)
    {}

    Foo some_callback;
};

bool a_callback(Foo a, Foo b){
    return false;
}

int main() {
    Bar b(a_callback);
    b.some_callback(Foo(a_callback), Foo(a_callback));
}

Not that I could ever see any use in that, as you can see from my example.
