[Dev-C++] RE:what does this mean?

[Julio L. <ju2...@ya...>]

CD3DFont* and CMenuItem* are NOT pointers, they are
the type of the pointer variable. g_pMenuFont and
g_pCurrentMenu are the pointers, which according to
what you wrote point to nothing.

It is the same, but probably less confusing, or at
least to me, to write it this way:

CD3DFont *g_pMenuFont = NULL;
CMenuItem *g_pCurrentMenu = NULL;

//all the same
type *pointer= NULL;
type * pointer= MULL;
type* pointer= NULL;
