Note the "*lastName". The extra asterisk makes ALL
the difference in C, and the asterisk is NOT
associated with the type name, it is associated with
the variable and should/must be grouped with the
variable.
The * makes ALL the difference as you say, but it needn't be "grouped"
in terms of textual format, just properly associated with the variable
name. Assuming @property follows C syntactic rules. either of the
following should be fine:
Though I like the first syntax better for aesthetic reasons (that
second variable looks odd in the second line, with the * in empty
space).
The mental trick I use to keep track of what associates with what in
"typename *varname;" is: "*varname is an instance of typename, so
varname is a reference to typename".

Is the document correct or am I. I am away from any
Leopard machine, so I can't just test it.
