Jan 18, 2012 at 11:31 comment added Joris Timmermans @c0da - you should not be using macros for typedefs, you should be using typedefs for typedefs. The actual effect of the macro can be very different, as illustrated by various responses.
Jan 18, 2012 at 11:29 comment added Tamás Szelei Yes, but it's not about shortness. A macro can do a zillion other things besides typedefing. But personally I think scoping is the most important.
Jan 18, 2012 at 11:27 comment added c0da But as I have shown in the example provided in the question, a typedef and #define use the same number of words! Also, these 3 words of a macro won't cause any confusion, as the words are the same, but just rearranged. :)
