Help me to understand strange 'typedef ... ' in some source...

Working on some source I've found some strange declaration in included header file.
I am looking for someone's help to understand me that syntax's, as it is fine (it is compiled without any complain,) but for me it seems out of any sense!
Acctually, it warning by CC compiler: " Warning: Implicit int is not supported in C++". That why I have checked that.
Code:
#ifdef WIN32 
typedef (_cdecl *COMPARE_ADDR)(void *,void*); 
#else 
extern "C" { 
typedef (*COMPARE_ADDR)(void *,void*); 
} 
#endif

I see it is preprared for diffrerent OS - Windows or Unix, but neither one 'typedef ..' I could understand

The 'typedef' should have [original_type] that will be reffered by the [user_defined_type].
So, it should be
typedef <initial_type> <new_name_for_initial_type>;

But here it seems as a casting or some function referencing syntax...
I could not understand what that means!

Could anyone give me a hint what that could be?

Thanks!
