Sorry,  forgot the rest of the question. It seems to dislike the "extern (C)"
in my target function declaration, but I get bus errors if I omit it (as one
might expect).

Any suggestions would be most welcome.

Switch up the 'alias' and extern(C) statements:

extern(C) alias uint function() EventHandlerProcPtr;


 extern (C)
 uint
 func1()
 {
 	return 0;
 }

 uint
 func2()
 {
 	return 0;
 }

 void
 main()
 {
 	EventHandlerProcPtr p = &func1;
 	EventHandlerProcPtr q = &func2;
 }


Also, as written, func2 is not extern(C), only func1 is. That's likely 
why you only saw the error for func1.

Yeah; sorry about that. I had trouble posting it the first time (kept getting
"Fail to post message"), and when I tried again later I had been experimenting,
so I think my example got changed.

 Switch up the 'alias' and extern(C) statements:
 extern(C) alias uint function() EventHandlerProcPtr;

I did eventually discover that, and now I'm just getting Bus errors when my
callback happens. My actual code is using Mac OS X's Carbon API, where it calls
you back for events. I'm not sure what's causing the problem at this point, but
I'll keep poking at it.

Thanks!
