------------------ Additional Follow-up Comments ----------------------------
Serious abuse of C syntax - it's a miracle that it works
in gcc.  It should be this:

int (*(*foo)(float* ,int (*) (float*)))(float*);

Unless an actual program can be identified that uses this
form of function declaration, I'll put this this in the
"too hard" basket for now.

Summary:  Possible BUG [PNET][PNET/C] cannot declare a function returning a 
function

Original Submission:  This might not be a bug at all, because it is not meant 
to be supported,I dont know. Here is some valid c code that does not compile by 
pnet/C.

//function_returning_a_function.c:1: cannot declare a function returning a 
function
int (*foo(float* ,int (*) (float*)))(float*);
