Are pointers to functions supported in Ver. 3.173?

//sample basic code

int process1();
int process2();
int process3();

//create a table of pointers to functions
int (*pFunc)() processFunc[] = { process1, process2, process3 }; //compiler error message here: "Function definition different from previous definition"


main()
{

while(1)
{

//so..so..so
//just assume y is declared and assigned a value
x = processFunc[y]();
}
}



process1()
{
return(1);
}

process2()
{
return(2);
}


process3()
{
return(3);
}

The answer is 'yes, but'...
There are significant restrictions to what can/can't be done. Also the ability is there, but not fully 'supported' yet.
Your declaration of the pointer is incorrect to begin with. You are declaring 'pFunc' to be a pointer to a function, and then the declaration gets confused with the array.
The support, does not appear to spread to initialising as part of the declaration, unless the initialisation is to a constant value. Hence if you use #ORG to put a routine at a partucular location you can declare with this address, but not with a normal function name.
The support seems to only accept 'fixed' array indices, not variables.
So:
Code:

//sample basic code

int process1(void);
int process2(void);
int process3(void);

//create a table of pointers to functions
typedef int (*pFunc)(void);
pFunc processFunc[3];
//This works.

main()
{
int x,y;
processFunc[0]=process1;
processFunc[1]=process2;
processFunc[2]=process3;
//This works

while(1)
{

//so..so..so
//just assume y is declared and assigned a value
x = (*(processFunc[0]))();
//Note that your calling syntax was wrong.
//This works.

x = (*(processFunc[y]))();
//But this doesn't... :-(

}
}
