memory layout and declaration

I came across the decleration.

Code:

---

int *x[]();

---

According to me it is: x is an array of pointers pointing to a function which returns int.
But the answer was different so i just want to check.So just tell your opinion about it.
wat is a memory layout of c program.is it code segment,data segment ,stack n heap??help urgent

That code is not valid C.

bithub is right, compiler will scream error if you try to compile it.
Did you mean

Code:

---

int (*x[])();

---

maybe?

I'm dying to know how an invalid declaration prompted a question about memory layout.

Code:

---

int (*x[])();

---

that would be a piece of cake ;) .

Code:

---

int  *x[]();

---

I did'nt check it in c compiler actually that was not in the options.I cant scan the paper to show this question but it came in a written exam of a leading software soln company.

Thats what my original question was.

Memory layout means how the program is allocated on main memory or How the c program is stored on memory.
Ans. The c program in memory contains 4 segments which i mentioned earlier
