It's never even occurred to me to typedef a function like this, and now that I think about it I'm not sure why. Your way is a lot clearer. Thanks for the tip.

Do you remember where you picked this up? Any particular book or codebase?

I picked it up just reading various C stuff on the internet - I think this one actually came from a Reddit user. It's not a use-case I think I've ever seen used anywhere, except for my personal code. Even then though, I admittedly almost always just type out the regular function-pointer syntax, since I find that function-pointers for me almost always just get declared in one location anyway.
