How can I declare multiple function pointer types in one typedef declaration?

Question

I can do

typedef int a, b;

but I can't do something like

typedef void(*the_name_1, *the_name_2)(...);

Is there a way do to typedef 2 function pointer types at the same time ?

Answer 1

Multiple declaration in C/C++ is misleading as * is linked to variable and not to the type:

typedef int a, *b, (*c)();

static_assert(std::is_same_v<int, a>);
static_assert(std::is_same_v<int*, b>);
static_assert(std::is_same_v<int (*)(), c>);

So your one-liner would be

typedef void(*the_name_1)(...), (*the_name_2)(...);
