<NAME>
|
The
Name title indicates the exact string used to identify the typedef. In
C++, a typedef (type name definition) is used to define a new data type name. A typedef declaration does not create a new data type; it simply creates a new name (synonym) for an existing type. Typedefs are useful for making programs more portable and more readable.
|
|
|
Typedefs are declared using the
typedef keyword. (A data type synonym that is defined with the
typedef enum keyword combination is not documented as a typedef, but rather as an enumeration in an Enumeration Template.)
