Posts: 5,409. Grill marks have been discussed many times over the years. Sure, they are pretty and make a really strong statement about the meat, but many high-dollar restaurants reportedly draw their grill marks on with a meat-marker, while others brush on a coat of sugar water prior to it hitting the hit grill.
Pointers to member functions in C++. This is how C++ uses function pointers when dealing with member functions of classes or structs. These are invoked using an object pointer or a this call. They are type safe in that you can only call members of that class (or derivatives) using a pointer of that type.
Remember that the type of a pointer to a function taking no arguments and returning int is int (*)(void). So the type returned by this function is char *(*)(char *, const char *) (with, again, the inner * indicating a pointer, and the outer * being part of the return type of the pointed-to function).
