No, it says that all conforming applications are required to avoid
symbols ending in "_t".

https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9799919799/xrat/V4_xsh_chap01.html
B.2.11.1 Defined Types

    The requirement that additional types defined in this section
    end in "_t" was prompted by the problem of name space pollution.
    It is difficult to define a type (where that type is not one
    defined by POSIX.1-2024) in one header file and use it in another
    without adding symbols to the name space of the program. To
    allow implementors to provide their own types, all conforming
    applications are required to avoid symbols ending in "_t",
    which permits the implementor to provide additional types.
    Because a major use of types is in the definition of structure
    members, which can (and in many cases must) be added to the
    structures defined in POSIX.1-2024, the need for additional
    types is compelling.

Of course you don't have to avoid defining symbols ending with "_t"
if you don't want to, but if you do so you don't have a "conforming
application" as far as POSIX is concerned.

It is, of course, an imperfect solution.

Aside from having to type 'break' for each 'case', do you have a 
legitimate case?

That concept is needed in order to make it the application's fault
when it suddenly fails to build because it's using foo_t, and
POSIX decides to introduced that into <sys/types.h>.

If you use _t, a clash may happen, and if it does, then since POSIX
told-you-so, it must be your program that is nonconforming, and not the
POSIX has a defect or the implementation is nonconforming.

This is okay if you have a grip on the nonconformances in the
application. You know where they are and have a way to be informed when
they turn into real problems and a plan for that situation.

Remember, a program that uses nullptr as a variable name was once
conforming. Through no change in the program whatsoever, it became
nonconforming. Playing the conformance game in this area is largely
a fool's errand.

Yes, I understand all that.  I was commenting on what POSIX actually
says.

Just one quibble.  C's declaration syntax *is* consistent.  Its
rules are rigorously specified by the standard, particularly by
the grammar.

Many of us (myself included) don't particularly like it, but that
doesn't mean it's inconsistent.

My own take on all this is that having declaration syntax follow usage
was a very clever idea, where "clever" is not necessarily a compliment.
It was IMHO unsuccessful in the sense that it can lead to confusing
and overly complicated declarations.  (Other languages don't have tools
corresponding to cdecl for much the same reason that Spanish-speaking
countries don't have spelling bees.)  But it was extraordinarily
successful in the sense that, even if you think it was a bad idea,
it wasn't bad enough to keep C from becoming one of the most popular
programming languages.

(I wonder if keeping the declaration-follows-use principle while
making "*" a postfix operator might have improved things.)

Yes, sure. It's well defined and all that. - What I tried to express
by that is that the building rules are not... - coherent, consistent?
Well, I think on that level speaking about "inconsistency" is fine.
But okay. I think we all know what we have with C's declaration syntax.
(And we all, but maybe one, can live with it.)

Well, to return the quibble, clever is a compliment (while "clever"
in quotes is obviously not). :-)

I don't consider it to have been a clever idea. (No quotes.) But I
had mentioned that elsethread already before, and it's IMO not worth
a dispute.

And that's the essence of the criticism, I think.

Undoubtedly. (It wasn't bad enough.) - Now imagine if it were better!
Would have all folks using - what-do-I-know, say, Java - then have
settled with "C"? - I'm just kidding.

I'm confused about the recent emphasis of such a change; it very much
sounds to me like: "we have a problem lets try fixing it by changing
something else [instead of addressing the problem]"; both are useless
thoughts. (Yes, I understand that you think about it academically.)

You say that you had commercial product, but you are apparently not
aware of basic marketing principles.  You do not win in the market
by making easy switch from your product to competitor product.  You
may want to make it easy to switch _to_ your product.  But you want
to make switching to competing products as hard as possible.  Of
course there are constraints on this, in the process you do not want
to deteriorate quality of your product too much and you have finite
development resources.

Judging on this criteria you should admit that C is pretty good:
people wrote translators from various languages to C, but there
seem to be no success story going in opposite direction.  C++
managed to take over nontrivial part of market previously occupied
by C, but they did this by embedding largish subset of C and by
massvie pileup of extra features.

There are lots of reasons why not.

C is popular as a compiler target because it is lower level than the 
source language. It has a weak type system which is easy to circumvent.

It has 'goto'! (Many languages don't)

There are well established, ubiquitous optimising compilers for it.

Now, what would be the reasons for going the other way? There aren't any!

(Well, some languages may have a feature to translate C programs into 
their syntax so that development can proceed in the new language. But 
the start point here is not C code being used for development, with some 
other HLL as an intermediate form.)

So for that purpose, C is probably the most practical of current HLLs.

Even if it is still not ideal and there are features which are awkward 
to express as C. C's UBs also get in the way.

I've tried several times myself both with high-level and low-level 
generated C.

(However, as a target language, I recently tried my own for that 
purpose, and it worked perfectly! Some features such as out-of-order 
definitions made it easier than C.

Of course, my product does not have optimising compilers and very 
limited targets, due to not having an army of 1000s taking care of that 
as happens with C.

But it shows that the creating such a suitable language design is not hard.)

So why IS C still around given that C++ compiler can build C programs, 
more or less?

Because it's typically less.

I see C and C++ as very different.

“Vendor lock-in” -- that’s the old proprietary-software model.
Customers are growing savvy to that sort of trick, which is why
open-source software has become so popular.

The most insidious form isn’t so much about the software, but about
the proprietary data formats. If competitors’ software cannot read
files containing the customers’ precious data accumulated over years
of using a product, then the customer cannot switch to the competitor,
even if they wanted to.

[O.T.]
Prefix array notation would not. But postfix * notation would, somewhat.

It would be interesting to find out why designers of C, or of one of its
ancestors decided that * as prefix is preferable to * as postfix.
Were they afraid of confusion with usage of * as multiplication?
Probably not, because confusion can arise about equally both for prefix
and for postfix.

I can agree that notational changes might make it marginally easier to 
understand complex declarations - or mean that declarations could be 
marginally more complex while still being easily understood.  But 
nothing can make Bart's exaggerated examples meaningful.

I don't know why it is prefix.  Maybe they were keen on "*p++ = *q++" 
and similar expressions, felt "(p++)* = (q++)*" was unclear?

Because it is more "natural" when read, easier to grasp? Simpler
for compilers? More consistent if all other, especially standard
operators known from daily use are used in prefix-form (-5, +42,
!false, ~bitset) in expressions?

I don't recall to have used any language with infix-expressions
that would have their monadic operators defined in postfix form.
The only exception was "C" (and C-oriented languages) with their
special case of post-increment/post-decrement operators. (Think
also about the quirk in C++ to define monadic postfix operators
that require a syntactic dummy type argument). (In low-level RPN
systems it may appear more "natural", but that just aside.)

100% no.

Unary * is more similar in function to postfix operators like [] and ()
than to those you mentioned.

Okay, if you think so.

I've read that would be a, albeit small, existing factor (when
resolving ambiguities or some such; but I don't recall details).
Anyway, I just want to mention some existing purported arguments,
so I take your word as granted.

I don't know how you come to that opinion. Personally I've learned
the concepts in abstract, non-language-specific forms as 'deref';
"deref p" not "p deref"; to me the former looks more natural, but
we can agree that this may be just our personal preferences).

(A less low-level language will ideally anyway abstract from any
explicit dereferentiation, but since we're speaking about "C" I'm
not expanding further on that.)

(If that quote is important for your argument, please explain.)

Oh, yes, how could I forget that! (I stand corrected.) - I suppose
it's because I considered that more an "accessor" than an operator
(like the array or struct selectors); that's also why it's often
not listed in Pascal's operator precedence tables. - So thanks for
the reminder.

Translation: 
1. I have no idea what unary * has to do with infix-expressions
2. I don't appriciate use of the term "infix-expression" instead of more
common (in context of description of C and similar languages) term
'binary operators'.
3. I don't know what "monadic operators defined in postfix form" means
and have no plans to look for the meaning

I'm sorry, these are (AFAICT) common terms, and I thought obvious.
So let me explain and amend with more text and examples...

Point 1. - I gave the hint that in languages that support RPN
(= Reverse Polish Notation) things like monadic postfix operators
(= having just _one_ argument applied _after_ the operator) are the
natural way of writing expressions. Less so in languages, which are
the majority since decades, that support expressions with infix
operators (= the operator arguments left and right of the operator).

Point 2. - A "binary operator" may be the '*' in the expressions
   a * b     typical infix notation (with parenthesis for precedence)
   a b *     RPN
   * a b     PN (Polish Notation)

A "binary operator" is something different from an "infix expression"
(the first one of the three; the others are RPN and PN examples).
That's why I took the appropriate term to explain what I intended to
explain.

Point 3. - "monadic" (see point 1). Applying to postfix form is best
explained on another example; assume RPN
   a -       monadic (unary) minus (on one argument)
   a b -     dyadic (binary) minus (difference of two arguments)

Hope the terms are clear now. Now consider our original case, e.g.

   a * *b ...     multiply and dereference
   a - -b ...     subtract and negate

as soon as we parse the second operator we know its kind. With postfix
operators we'd have (assuming same semantics but with postfix operators)

   a * b * ...    now what is the second '*' at that point of parsing?
   a - b - ...    we don't expect that second '-' to be a negation.

The compilers can handle every variant. For the users it's different;
usually they seem to prefer unary operators to be prefixed (YMMV).

The question (concerning "C") was; would it have been "better" (in any
respect) if the dereferencing operator would have been defined in "C"
as postfix operator (as you seem to prefer).

O.k.

If C was as strongly typed from the beginning as it ended up in the 2nd
half of the 70s then it would make sense to use postfix . (dot) instead
of prefix * as dereference operator.
Unfortunately, in early stage of development C was almost untyped, so
something like that was out of question.

It would be certainly better in the context of type declarators. By now
mixing postfix with prefix is their most confusing part.
I have no strong opinion about advantages and disadvantages of postfix
in context of use of * in expressions, but suspect that in this context
the postfix will slightly reduce the need for parenthesis.
