BTW just a small remark. I'd like to see the use of typedef to be
limited, perhaps only when we deal with complex declarations.
Consider one possible problem below.
typedef char wtv[128];
void
foo(wtv a)
{
printf("%zu\n", sizeof(a)); /* 4 or 8 or whatever */
}
int
main(void)
{
wtv a;
printf("%zu\n", sizeof(a)); /* 128 */
foo(a);
exit(0);
}
The resulting type is an array-type but not in all contexts.
As long as typedef is used sensible I am ok with the proposed naming
convention.
