This is correct explanation.

This is the wrong reason.
Typedef does not introduce a new type, only synonyms for types that could be
declared another way. (K&R2nd p 221). However "const" and "volatile" are
"type qualifiers", which can appear with a type specifier such as a typedef
name (opcit 210). This is the "right thing"
typedef .... foo;
const foo* pcf;
It is confusing becuase here it does seem like typedef is introducing a new
type.
