With the C interface in libclang, this is how you would do it:

CXType type = clang_getCursorType(cursor);

if (type == CXType_Pointer)
{
     CXType pointerType = clang_getPointeeType();
     // ...
}

You can have a look at how these C functions are implemented. If think 
they're located in the "tools" directory.
