Standard for typedef'ing

Question

gcc 4.4.4 c89

I am just wondering is there any standard that should be followed when creating types.

for example:

typedef struct date
{
} dat

Much of this comes down to personal preference, with the key being to be consistent (or if you have a company convention, use that). The following article has some naming guides:

Note that it switches the '_t' portion:

typedef struct node_t {
  void *content;
  struct node_t *next;
} Node;

typedef enum season_t { SPRING, SUMMER, FALL, WINTER } Season;

There was an earlier discussion on C naming conventions here:
