What is the merit of the “function” type (not “pointer to function”)?

An example of why this is useful is boost where you see this a lot. For example in the signals2 library.

On the one hand, you seem to be talking about function types in general. On the other hand, it appears that your question is really about the usability of typedef names for function types.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
