They are essentially the same. I personally prefer placing __block
at the beginning since it's more important than the variable's type.
What's the correct way to declare a __block variable?

Question
Should I declare it as
(#1) ClassName * __block variableName
or
(#2) __block ClassName * variableName
?
I seen a lot of code uses format #2, Including Apple's Blocks Programming Topics.
But recently I found Apple's "Transitioning to ARC Release Notes" says:
You should decorate variables correctly. When using qualifiers in an object variable declaration, the correct format is:
ClassName * qualifier variableName;
for example:
MyClass * __weak myWeakReference;
Other variants are technically incorrect but are “forgiven” by the compiler. To understand the issue, see http://cdecl.org/.
So I'm confused, Which format should I use in the future?
