Standard for typedef'ing

Question

gcc 4.4.4 c89

I am just wondering is there any standard that should be followed when creating types.

for example:

typedef struct date
{
} dat         


        

Answer 1

If you are working on a platform that follows POSIX standards you should be aware that any identifier ending in _t is reserved for POSIX defined types so it is not advisable to follow the same convention for your own types.
