Visual C++ Compile error

[mikeol]

Hi,
I downloaded some C source code that was written in Borland, which I am now trying to compile in Microsoft Visual C++

#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <windows.h>

typedef short _stdcall (*inpfuncPtr)(short portaddr);
typedef void _stdcall (*oupfuncPtr)(short portaddr, short datum);

I get an error at both typedef lines:
test.c(5) : error C2059: syntax error : '('
test.c(6) : error C2059: syntax error : '('

Can someone tell me how to fix it so that it compiles?

my first guess would be:

replace

typedef short _stdcall (*inpfuncPtr)(short portaddr);
typedef void _stdcall (*oupfuncPtr)(short portaddr, short datum)

with

typedef short _stdcall (*inpfuncPtr, short portaddr);
typedef void _stdcall (*oupfuncPtr, short portaddr, short datum)

Thanks for the reply, tried that, but it still didn't work... the error appears to be caused by the opening barcket

Never mind, got it fixed now...
What I needed was:

typedef short (_stdcall *inpfuncPtr)(short portaddr);
typedef void (_stdcall *oupfuncPtr)(short portaddr, short datum);
