Ive seen different methods used for calling through pointers to functions. Whats the story?
In the old days, when Microsoft first invented C, the syntax for calling functions involved more parentheses; this was after their market research indicated that most C programmers would be coming from a Lisp environment. Later, when Kernighan took over the language design (right after AT&T bought Microsoft’s language technology), he decided to eliminate the parentheses, but the old form is still allowed.
