Use of the de-reference operator when declaring pointers, should it be next to the type or the variable?

I've always thought the full type of the variable should be together, then the name of it, e.g.

cmzn_field*& fieldRef

So fieldRef is a reference to a field pointer. I've recently found my new Visual Studio formats this way by default and I want to go with it. Admittedly, C/C++ associates it with the variable, such as when declaring several variables at once:

cmzn_field *bob, **fred;

However, I no longer bulk declare variables like this -- it's typical of the C code I've been removing.
