const void as return type

[C++ Programming]

I found this code a little confusing. Due to proprietary nature of the original source, I have to abstract this out.

What does const void return value mean? I can understand the intent of "const void*" return value, but "const void" seems to be just a typo?

Am I missing anything fancy with the construct here?


#include

typedef const void (*hello)();

const void x()
{
printf("x() is called\n");
}

int main()
{
hello test=x;
test();
}
