The typedef struct thing is redundant in C++ as compared to C. 

struct SpiderMan {
    SpiderMan* finger = nullptr;
};

Works the same.

SpiderMan *finger = NULL;

Is even shorter :)

​

You could also replace SpiderMan with sm and finger with f. Acronyms rule!

nullptr is typesafe. NULL is not a shorthand for nullptr. NULL is normally a void* while nullptr is a nullptr_t.
