This takes the address of the func object that is a member of a structure
that is pointed to by a pointer which is in turn pointed to by IR.

Let's start with IR.

IR is a pointer to a pointer to a struct.
*IR is a pointer to a struct.
(*IR)-> dereferences the struct.
(*IR)->func refers to the func member of the struct.
&(*IR)->func takes the address of the func member.

> where IR is the pointer to structure

It isn't. At least, if it is, the compiler will emit a diagnostic for the
above code.
