Typedefs help MOST when they are applied to pointers. I use typedefs sparingly, since they do not add any real power to the C language. The main usage I have is typedef int bool; so I can carefully distinguish between booleans and integers. If "lint" would not consider a "bool" so defined to be also an "int" it would help.
