Functions are only "jump" labels. Thou you cant expect a program to work if you cross typecast functions with different argument (or return) values. This because the function expects arguments to be in "right" register or stack position. And caller expects return values to be in right register.

excerpt from a discussion here @

...
  ANSI Classic section 3.3.4, page 47 lines 4 to 5:  "A pointer to a
function of one type may be converted to a pointer to a function of another
type and back again; the result shall compare equal to the original pointer."
...


Seems to confuse me a lot. I didn't understand the ABC's of the quoted discussion; nevertheless, this line there in the discussion, still stings me :(
  What does it mean?

First of all, why should be function pointers be typecasted to something else?
