Specifiers 

  • Artículo

This section explains the decl-specifiers portion of declarations. (The syntax for declarations is given at the beginning of this section.)

The following are declaration specifiers:

storage-class-specifier
type-specifier
function-specifier
friend
typedef
__declspec ( extended-decl-modifier-seq )

The Microsoft-specific keyword, __declspec, is discussed in Extended Attribute Syntax.

Remarks

The decl-specifiers portion of a declaration is the longest sequence of decl-specifiers that can be construed to be a type name, not including the pointer or reference modifiers. The remainder of the declaration is the declarator, including the name introduced. The examples in the following list illustrates this concept:

Declaration decl-specifiers declarator 
char *lpszAppName;
 
char
 
*lpszAppName
 
typedef char * LPSTR;
 
char
 
*LPSTR
 
const int func1();
 
const int
 
func1
 
volatile void *pvvObj;
 
volatile void
 
*pvvObj

Because signed, unsigned, long, and short all imply int, a typedef name following one of these keywords is taken to be a member of declarator-list, not of decl-specifiers.

Note

Because a name can be redeclared, its interpretation is subject to the most recent declaration in the current scope. Redeclaration can affect how names are interpreted by the compiler, particularly typedef names.
