I was working and suddenly I faced a function like that:
void func(SomeStruct *parameter) { (void)parameter; }
I could not wrap my head on what it does.
I mean, there is a function func which the only thing it does is (void)parameter; but I can't get what (void)parameter; is doing int this example.
Would someone mind to explain me, please?

I have come across the following code snippet in C++ and I have no idea what it means;
#include <iostream>
char (&some_function(int (&some_input)));
int main ()
{
// main code here
return 0;
}
How is some_function a function? what kind of syntax is this? where is the body?
I'm sure this is only a C++ syntax as it doesn't compile in C.
Edit:
Actual code with above style:
template <typename T, size_t N>
char (&ArraySizeHelper(T (&array)[N]))[N];
#define arraysize(array) (sizeof(ArraySizeHelper(array)))

I read a piece of code from a book but I do not really understand the grammar,
const auto& [local_min, local_max] = minmax(A[i], A[i+1]);
where A is vector of int and local_min and local_max are int.
I know minmax returns a pair, but what does the square brackets do, i.e. [local_min, local_max]? I guess it is not for arrays here.
Thanks.

I want to call this function void getResult(char, size_t*) in objective c.How can i do this please help me.
It give me below error show in image.
It seems your getResult function expects to get second parameter by reference. You can't pass function result by reference. Assign it to actual variable first and then pass reference to that.
unsigned long sizeOfC = sizeof(c);
c->getResult(array1, &sizeOfC);
