A variable's name is more important than its type, so the name should be more prominent and come first in declarations.

    That’s why you write

    int *x, y, **z;

    C doesn’t write like “x is an int-pointer”, rather it says “dereferencing x will get you an int”.

      100% and why I think int* should be at the least a compiler warning, perhaps an outright error with pedantic enabled.
