What is the right way to typedef a type and the same type's pointer?

Question

What is the right way to typedef a type and the same type\'s pointer? Here is what I mean. Should I do this:

typedef unsigned int delay;
typedef unsigned int         


        

Answer 1

In case of int it shouldn't make any difference, but in case of aggregate types latter approach is better, because in former case *delay isn't equivalent to delayp, and cast would be needed to use them interchangeably.

But as others mention, you better be off just with delay.
