Try it.

typedefs are weird in the C language, they change the syntactical value of the
identifier. The parser actually has to know whether an identifier is a typedef
or not in order to figure out how to parse the code.

Syntax errors in known good code, especially header files are a typical
symptom of missing typedefs. A good thing to know to recognize right away or
else you'll spend lots of time puzzling over seemingly good code.
