One baffling thing I see people do with typedefing function pointers is insisting on adding in the pointer part in the typedef which just complicates and hides things.
If you want to typedef a function pointer, make a completely ordinary function declaration, then slap 'typedef' at the beginning, done.
This does require you to do "foo_func *f" instead of "foo_func f" when declaring variables, but that is just clearer imo.
typedef int foo_func(int); // nice
typedef int (*foo_func)(int); // why?
