    Function pointer of a function pointer with an argument

    I'm trying to use a function pointer that is taking another function pointer with an argument. So f2() is the argument to the first function.

    But I'm getting an error saying "error: lvalue required as unary ‘&’ operand".

    Am I doing something that is'nt possible? Or how shall I implement this?

    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
     
    typedef void(*funcPtr)(void(*ptr)(int));
    
    
    void f1(void (*op)(int b))
    {
        printf("%s() - \n", __func__);
        (*op)(b);
    }
    
    void f2(int b)
    {
        printf("%s() - b: %d\n", __func__, b);
    }
    
    
    int main()
    {
      funcPtr pF1 = NULL;
      pF1 = f1;
      pF1(&f2(5));
    
      return 0;
    }

    How about
    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
      
    typedef void(*funcPtr)(void(*ptr)(int),int);
     
     
    void f1(void (*op)(int b), int b)
    {
        printf("%s() - \n", __func__);
        (*op)(b);
    }
     
    void f2(int b)
    {
        printf("%s() - b: %d\n", __func__, b);
    }
     
     
    int main()
    {
      funcPtr pF1 = 0;
      pF1 = f1;
      pF1(f2,5);
     
      return 0;
    }
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
