Program on typedef - work around

Hi,

Kindly see the snippet below

Code:

---


typedef int *ptr;
const ptr p;

---

In this p is constant and not the value pointed to by p;

Suppose if we want to make the value pointed to by p, a constant, what is to be done?

I believe your only choice is to change the typedef or create a new typedef or not use it:

Code:

---

typedef const int *ptr;
ptr p;

---

Thanks cwr :)

It is best not to use pointers with typedefs because they generally cause confusion. Typedef the actual type, but not the pointer part of the type.
Like
typedef int myint;
const myint* p;
