not sure if this is a bug or not...

void test()
    {

    typedef int* pint;

    pint x;
    x =  x + 1; // error incompatible types 'pint' and 'int'
    x++; // ok

    int* y;
    y = y + 1; // ok
    y+; // ok

    }

I suspect you want to be using alias.

If you do indeed mean typedef, then I have to say I'm not sure what the intended behaviour should be. Since pint is a strong typedef, it's certainly the case that 1 is not one of its type. Conversely, since pint is a pointer type, then we'd expect to be able to do integer arithmetic.

I think you've found a little gremlin in the typedef type system, and it clearly warrants some attention. My vote would be for allowing integer arithmetic on strong pointer typedefs ... I think. :-)
