Question

Why typedef can not be used with static? For example, the code below is an error

typedef static int INT2;

What other rules should be follow to use the typedef? What other keywords can not be used with typedef?

Thanks so much!

Answer 1

typedef doesn’t declare an instance of a variable, it declares a type (type alias actually),

static is a qualifier you apply to an instance, not a type, so you can use static when you use the type, but not when you define the type. Like this..

typedef int int32;
static int32 foo;
