The article you read was written by someone that either referred to a different programming language, or doesn't understand the C/C++ language definitions; char* is not a type in C/C++.

void f(char* cptr, void* vptr)
...
int* p1 = 
...
char* cptr;
int* iptr;
void* vptr;

char* a , b, c[12], *d[5]; // ugly and prone to misinterpretation

char* a; // no ambiguities here!
char  b;
char  c[12];
char* d[5];

the variable is the type, and the type stays the type. The * goes with the variable because you're modifying defining how the variable will be using accessing the type value. You're not, as it were, modifying the type.
