Specifiers
This section explains the decl-specifiers portion of declarations. (The syntax for declarations is given at the beginning of this section.)
The following are declaration specifiers:
storage-class-specifiertype-specifierfunction-specifierfriendtypedef__declspec ( extended-decl-modifier-seq )
The Microsoft-specific keyword, __declspec, is discussed in Extended Attribute Syntax.
Remarks
The decl-specifiers portion of a declaration is the longest sequence of decl-specifiers that can be construed to be a type name, not including the pointer or reference modifiers. The remainder of the declaration is the declarator, including the name introduced. The examples in the following list illustrates this concept:
Declaration |
decl-specifiers |
declarator |

Because signed, unsigned, long, and short all imply int, a typedef name following one of these keywords is taken to be a member of declarator-list, not of decl-specifiers.
备注
Because a name can be redeclared, its interpretation is subject to the most recent declaration in the current scope. Redeclaration can affect how names are interpreted by the compiler, particularly typedef names.
