It should not. The C++ compiler does not care either way, it is the same
type. Whitespace is not syntactic in C/C++, unless it splits a token into 2
(e.g. "long int").
QWidget *foo, QWidget* foo, QWidget*foo, and QWidget * foo are all valid
ways to spell the same declaration.
QWidget *foo is really how the language works, e.g., you have to write
QWidget *foo, *bar; to get 2 pointers, QWidget* foo, bar; will be read as
QWidget *foo, bar; and give you only one pointer and one stack-allocated
object. So IMHO QWidget *foo is the correct way to write it. But many
developers prefer QWidget* foo because they say the * is part of the type
and should be attached to the type.
