int (*fp)(int);
fp = ((one_two_or_three == 3) ? sub_plus_three :
return fp(in);
((one_two_or_three == 2) ? sub_plus_two :
sub_plus_one));
Example 7–1
sub_plus_two() and sub_plus_three(). A fourth function,
c2h_fnc(), returns a pointer to one of the three sub-functions,
depending on the value of the input argument one_two_or_three. The
C2H Compiler supports this use of function pointers as long as all four
functions are part of the hardware accelerator.
Function Argument Types (Section 6.9.1, Paragraph 13)
Functions must define the types of the arguments passed.
For example, the following declaration of foo() is not supported
because the arguments a,b, and c are not typed:
The following function declaration which defines the argument types
inside the function argument list is supported:
void foo(a,b,c);
void foo(char a, char b, char c);
defines three sub-functions, sub_plus_one(),
