That is a typedef of a function. In this case the need was for portability -windows compiler versus maybe a linux C compiler.
No dataype declaration for the function. So, by default, the function will compile probably with a warning as a function that returns an integer.
So you do not worry about the platform, you will notice void * arguments. This lets you call COMPARE_ADDR with any datatypes as long as those datatypes are by reference (address of the object). It does not have a datatype for the function return. This kind of function typedef is usually done for situations where you want to call something to get a standard result, but windows and linux (example platform) do not have the same name for the function, but it may return { <0, 0, >0} for less than, equal to, or greater than.

I've google a bit about this and couldn't find an answer. Actually I read that it can't be done.
Basically I've defined the following structure and typedef it as follows.
stuct Name {

typdef struct Name Name.
and right after it, defined some API that use it.

MPI_Alltoallw(3) MPI MPI_Alltoallw(3)NAME
MPI_Alltoallw - Generalized all-to-all communication allowing different datatypes, counts, and displacements for each partner
SYNOPSIS
int MPI_Alltoallw(void *sendbuf, int *sendcnts, int *sdispls,
MPI_Datatype *sendtypes, void *recvbuf, int *recvcnts,
int *rdispls, MPI_Datatype *recvtypes, MPI_Comm comm)
INPUT PARAMETERS
sendbuf
- starting address of send buffer (choice)
sendcounts
- integer array equal to the group size specifying the number of elements to send to each processor (integer)
sdispls
- integer array (of length group size). Entry j specifies the displacement in bytes (relative to sendbuf) from which to take the
outgoing data destined for process j
sendtypes
- array of datatypes (of length group size). Entry j specifies the type of data to send to process j (handle)
recvcounts
- integer array equal to the group size specifying the number of elements that can be received from each processor (integer)
rdispls
- integer array (of length group size). Entry i specifies the displacement in bytes (relative to recvbuf) at which to place the
incoming data from process i
recvtypes
- array of datatypes (of length group size). Entry i specifies the type of data received from process i (handle)
comm - communicator (handle)
OUTPUT PARAMETER
recvbuf
- address of receive buffer (choice)
THREAD AND INTERRUPT SAFETY
This routine is thread-safe. This means that this routine may be safely used by multiple threads without the need for any user-provided
thread locks. However, the routine is not interrupt safe. Typically, this is due to the use of memory allocation routines such as malloc
or other non-MPICH runtime routines that are themselves not interrupt-safe.
NOTES FOR FORTRAN
All MPI routines in Fortran (except for MPI_WTIME and MPI_WTICK ) have an additional argument ierr at the end of the argument list. ierr
is an integer and has the same meaning as the return value of the routine in C. In Fortran, MPI routines are subroutines, and are invoked
with the call statement.
All MPI objects (e.g., MPI_Datatype , MPI_Comm ) are of type INTEGER in Fortran.
ERRORS
All MPI routines (except MPI_Wtime and MPI_Wtick ) return an error value; C routines as the value of the function and Fortran routines in
the last argument. Before the value is returned, the current MPI error handler is called. By default, this error handler aborts the MPI
job. The error handler may be changed with MPI_Comm_set_errhandler (for communicators), MPI_File_set_errhandler (for files), and
MPI_Win_set_errhandler (for RMA windows). The MPI-1 routine MPI_Errhandler_set may be used but its use is deprecated. The predefined
error handler MPI_ERRORS_RETURN may be used to cause error values to be returned. Note that MPI does not guarentee that an MPI program can
continue past an error; however, MPI implementations will attempt to continue whenever possible.
MPI_SUCCESS
- No error; MPI routine completed successfully.
MPI_ERR_COMM
- Invalid communicator. A common error is to use a null communicator in a call (not even allowed in MPI_Comm_rank ).
MPI_ERR_ARG
- Invalid argument. Some argument is invalid and is not identified by a specific error class (e.g., MPI_ERR_RANK ).
MPI_ERR_COUNT
- Invalid count argument. Count arguments must be non-negative; a count of zero is often valid.
MPI_ERR_TYPE
- Invalid datatype argument. May be an uncommitted MPI_Datatype (see MPI_Type_commit ).
