Given the query

cdecl> declare foo as pointer to pointer to stdcall function (void) returning int

cdecl correctly responds

int (__stdcall **foo)(void);

However, when the output is given back to cdecl

cdecl> explain int (__stdcall **foo)(void)

it erroneously complains

error: "__stdcall": can be used only for functions and pointers to function

Note that the given expression is accepted without error by Microsoft's x86 compiler.

I just pushed a fix. Do a git pull, try it out, and let me know.

Thanks for the quick response! Can confirm it now works as expected. Closing the issue.
