If you hate typing so much, then why do you type meaningles names
like pointer1 & pointer2

My advice is:

union
{
     char *b;
     int *i;
     // long *l;
     // unsigned int *u;
     // etcetera
} p;

the names are long enough because they are local to a struct;

The more local a name, the shorter it can be.
