c - Subtracting 1 from a function pointer -

-

i saw line in signal.h in /usr/include/sys/ on mac. based on it's use return type of function signal, i'd expect sig_err pointer function takes integer input , returns void. macro expansion of sig_err seems subtract 1 function pointer type, found weird. how c parse it? 

#define sig_err         ((void (*)(int))-1)   

( (void(*)(int)) -1)

does not subtract 1 function pointer, cast constant value -1 function pointer.

as side note, adding or subtracting function pointer not allowed in iso c , can done as (somewhat peculiar) gcc extension handles if char pointer;

in gcc, addition , subtraction operations allowed on pointers of type void, , pointers functions. normally, iso c not allow arithmetic on such pointers because size of "void" silly concept, , dependent on pointer pointing to. facilitate such arithmetic, gcc treats size of referential object 1 byte.

What design pattern is this code in Javascript? -

-
this question has answer here: why write “.call(this)” @ end of javascript anonymous function? [duplicate] 4 answers what kind of design pattern , significance of using closure? (function(){ // code here }).call(this); edit then difference between above code , following this keyword still refer same object in both ways. (function(){ // code here })(); thats invoked function expression. more info here: http://benalman.com/news/2010/11/immediately-invoked-function-expression/ the purpose run code while protecting scope (so variables declared within don't leak out global scope. update call sets value of this function being applied on. without it, value set window object, there set outer scope.
