function pointer

[skim218]

Why "func1=&fun c2" and "func1=func 2" has same result?
should it be..
func1=&func2
*func1=func2
??

Thanks

/*************** *************** *************** ***/

#include <stdio.h>

int func2(int arg) {
return arg * arg;
}

int (*func1)(int arg);

int main(void) {
func1 = &func2;
printf("result 1: %d\n", func1(3));

func1 = func2;
printf("result 2: %d\n", func1(3));

return 0;
}

What would have been the consequences of insisting on the &func form only?

When? If DMR had done it way back when there wouldn't have been any but
if the ANSI committee had tried to do it it would have broken a lot of
existing code.
