Another way to build unusual declarations is by repeated typedefs. The
previous posting gave as an example "array of pointers to function
returning integer", which is "int (*foo[])()".

To build this up:
typedef int fri();		/* function returning int */
typedef fri *pfri;		/* prointer to function ret. int */
typedef pfri apfri[20];		/* array (size 20) of ... */

Then:
apfri foo; /* declares the array */
