Yes, if the focus is the type, then the type is certainly "int*".

The focus may be anything else one wishes, of course, but if I declare mult=
iple
variables at once by first saying what type they are, and then the names of=
 the
variables, like:

int* a, b, c, d;

all of them oughta be of type "int*".

Diclaimer: I have designed two programming languages (for my own use) and w=
rote
optimizing compilers for them (real languages, not toys), so my opinion may=
 be biased.

Cheers,
Mario
