I haven't checked the code in question, but if what youa re doing is
returning a pointer to a function froma function, then typdef'ing a
function pointer type and returning that should be a clean solution.

ie if the function type being passed around is
int func(char *, int)

typedef int functype(char *, int);

functype *
functionthatreturnspointertofunction()
{
 ...
}
