The fact it's a pointer is part of the type, not part of the variable name. So
int* p
is the way.You would think so, but
int* a, b
is actually eqivalent toint* a; int b
, so the asterisk actually does go with the name. Writingint* a, *b
is inconsistent, soint *a, *b
is the way to go.Don't declare more than 1 pointer per line. This resolves that, badly.
