Hi,

I think there are two separate issue here:

the first:

PROCEDURE test(INTEGER, INTEGER): INTEGER;

the parameters to a procedure must have names.

the second:

> typedef void (*IFiis)(int, int, char*); /* globalmotion_cb */

is the procedure type which does not have parameter names.

TYPE
   foo = PROCEDURE (INTEGER; INTEGER): INTEGER;
