I'm no expert, but from what I can tell from having written the Gtk
type documentation, yes, there's a considerable difference.  The first
casts the value (whatever it may really be) into a GtkSignalFunc.  The
second is a macro which may (or may not) do some checking up on
printing_clist before returning a pointer to it, cast into a
GtkSignalFunc.
