Can you kindly explain it..

umm, sorry if it was not understandable, i tried to come up with a very long name for a type i want to define... so i made the name myself, don't try it it won't work. unless you define such a class. which would be silly... c++ isn't java

Can you explain what a problem are you trying to solve with "generic typedef"?

I got your point..
But lets say If i want to create the pointer variable.
like for example normally what we do is

struct box 
{
 ... blah .. blah.. blah
};
 
typedef box *crazy_box;
//as we can now easy create the pointer with crazy_box
crazy_box B1;
struct box 
{
 ... blah .. blah.. blah
};

typedef box *crazy_box;
//as we can now easy create the pointer with crazy_box
crazy_box B1;

Now I want this to happen with the template structure what to do...
