"Unparseable C cross-reference" when building

/mnt/library/c.rst:66: WARNING: Unparseable C cross-reference: 'char *'

[jsarchibald]

It's implied in the documentation that we can only use the :type: syntax if we're referencing a type we've defined in the documentation. Problem is, if we define the types in the documentation ourselves, then the definitions will also appear in our docs, and we'll have to deal with a list of C types at the bottom of the page.

For now, I think the simplest solution is to just change :type: to :code: where it appears. The only drawback is aesthetics, since the text will be red, not black. (There was no actual cross-reference to a type before, so no link is disappearing; the only difference is the text color.)

I've also posted a question on Stack Overflow (here) so will wait to see if the internet has any alternatives that I haven't thought of.
