What are the rules? OTOH the simple case seems to imply the new type is the last thing on a line. Like here Uchar is the new type.

typedef unsigned char Uchar;

But a function pointer is completely different. Here the new type is pFunc:

typedef int (*pFunc) (int);

I can't think of any other examples offhand but I have come across some very confusing usages.

So are there rules or are people just suppose to know from experience that this is how it is done because they have seen it done this way before?

ALSO: What is the scope of a typedef.

Thanks to everyone.
