I am not sure if the regex for identifying latex snippets inline has
changed or not but an expression like this one is going to test that
regex to the limit in any case.  I would suggest that you use the latex
directive directly given that the code is not likely to export sensibly
to any other target anyway:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* what is x?                                            
  #+BEGIN_SRC c                                         
  char (*(*x())[])();                                   
  #+END_SRC                                             
  \pause                                                
  #+LATEX: char \fbox{\fbox{(*\fbox{\fbox{(*\fbox{x()})}[]})}()};
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Code like this reminds me why I left the C world more than 15 years
ago... ;-)
