typedef int * (* (* FP)(void))(void);

This defines FP to be a type that represents a function pointer to a function returning a function pointer to a function returning a pointer to int. All function (types) involved take no arguments.

Of course you can. The easiest and most readible way is to have an intermediate typedef, something like this:

typedef int* (*pFunc)(void);

and then it's simply:

typedef pFunc (*pFuncRetFunc)(void);
