what is this

i hate c and havent used it in years. what does this syntax mean?
i.e are they function pointers or what?

(void (*)(ML_HANDLE *))ABC_Cleanup

BOOL (*)(ML_HANDLE *, UNIMOD *, MMSTREAM *))ABC_Load,

those are syntax errors, ``faggot''.

thanks for your help. you seem like a pretty cool and well together guy.

(void (*)(ML_HANDLE *))ABC_Cleanup is a cast

BOOL (*)(ML_HANDLE *, UNIMOD *, MMSTREAM *))ABC_Load, is wrong

CUMMING ABC_LOADs

Guido von Rossum, is that you?

CPython is actually quite well done, Guido isn't bad at C.

>>7
Probably >>6 was referring to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABC_(programming_language). Guido worked on it and gave him the fetish for the forced indentation of code.

>>8
Well OP did say that he hated C and hadn't used it in years.

About the origin of Python, Van Rossum wrote in 1996:

    Over six years ago, in December 1989, I was looking for a "hobby" programming project that would keep me occupied during the week around Christmas. My office … would be closed, but I had a home computer, and not much else on my hands. I decided to write an interpreter for the new scripting language I had been thinking about lately: a descendant of ABC that would appeal to Unix/C hackers. I chose Python as a working title for the project, being in a slightly irreverent mood (and a big fan of Monty Python's Flying Circus).[13]
