Scope
Both structure types and structure
variables obey the rules of scope: that is to say, a structure type declaration
can be local or global, depending upon where the declaration is made. Similarly
if a structure type variable is declared locally it is only valid inside the
block parentheses in which it was defined.
main
()
{
struct ONE
{
int a;
float b;
};
struct ONE x;
}
function
()
{
struct ONE x; /* This line is
illegal, since ONE */
/* is a local type
definition */
/* Defined only in
main() */
}
