I've come across the following function declaration:
int function_name(uint8_t* input1, int input2)
What is the purpose of declaring a pointer in this way? Is it any different from usual:
uint8_t *input1

There is no difference. Just a different convention that some people prefer. – wolfPack88 Jun 16 '14 at 13:14

We who do uint8_t* look at the * as part of the type. But it's up to you how you do it. :) – Almo Jun 16 '14 at 13:14
