Is “typedef” in between the type and the alias standard-conformant?

Question

I stumbled upon some code where the typedef keyword is in between the type and the alias name like in

int typedef INT;

It compiles

Answer 1

If you look at 7.1/1 you see this grammar for decl-specifier:, which shows that a type-specifier and the typedef keyword fall at the same point in the grammar, allowing you to interchange them as in the question (although as an aside never write code like this, it's not idiomatic at all).

decl-specifier:

storage-class-specifier

type-specifier

function-specifier

friend

typedef
