Ofc this has always been an option. In my C heyday I used to put a space on both sides of the star. It makes for a more consistent syntax when you have multi layer pointers with const at various layers. For example: // mutable pointer to mutable data: char * str; // Immutable pointer to immutable data: char const*const str; // Mutable pointer to an immutable pointer to a mutable pointer to immutable data: char const**const* strs;
