[Lew Pitcher]

Is this C++ ?? (oh horror)....

Looks like C to me

Perhaps I missed something among the masses of parentheses, but
I don't see a conversion back to the original type.

Here's the code in question:

| typedef void (*fp)();
|
| void run()
| {
| fp cb;
|
| cb = init;
| for (;
| cb = ((fp (*)())cb)();
| }

Now that I think about it, we haven't seen a declaration for init.
If init is either a function returning fp, or a pointer to such a
function, it might be ok.

In either case a cast would be needed to allow the assignment
to 'cb'.
