I once used a very cool program that would parse a type declaration and
spell it out in English. For example, given

int* x

it would say something like

x is a pointer to an int.

I can't find the name of such program, so I can't install it again. I'm
sure you know which one it is. Can you jog my memory? Thank you!

Oh, of course it had to have gone to the web. Thanks very much, Keith.

A simplified version can be found at the book "C Programming Language"

In case it wasn't clear, cdecl can still be installed as a program to be
run locally; the web site hasn't replaced it. On Ubuntu and other
Debian derivatives, `apt-get install cdecl`. Or you can build it from
source: https://github.com/ridiculousfish/cdecl-blocks (there are
probably other versions out there).
