Pointer formatting

At the minimum level of detail, only the word ptr displays for a pointer object. Click More detail to reveal the pointed-to object. Consider the following:

      typedef int (*FUNCP)();             // a function pointer
  FUNCP Table[3] = { main, exit };    // table of pointers
The sequence below shows how you might inspect the object:

      
Table: array
  
  
Table: { ptr ptr NULL }
  
  
Table: 0: ptr
      1: ptr
      2: NULL
  
  
Table: 0: -> main()
      1: ptr
      2: NULL
  
  
Table: 0: -> function-returning-int
      1: ptr
      2: NULL
  
  
Table: 0: pointer-to-function-returning-int
      1: ptr
      2: NULL
  
  Table: 3-item-array-of-pointer-to-function-returning-int
