Ken,

Thanks for your answer. Probably I incorrectly expressed my question. I am
looking for a way to generate for every typedef a unique tag type. May be I
got an idea, which I must test and can post here later on.

Many thanks,
Ovanes

The typedef just renames the type, it does not make create a unique  
type.
You can use a struct:

struct { unsigned int x } some_type;
struct { unsigned int x } other_type;

though this makes using the types ugly.
