typedef forward declare

[Binary]

Hi,

With keyword struct, we can simply do forward declare by:

struct struct_a;

but if we typedef it:

typdef struct struct_a struct_a_t;

When we need to use struct_a_t but the cross include occurs, how to
tell compiler that struct_a_t is a type? seems like:

type struct_a_t;

Thanks.

Hi Binary(nice one ;) ),

Usually u wud declare the typedef part in a header
file,and include that header file in all the filese.When each file is
compiled,the header info gets included at preprocessing stage and hence
ur typedefnition.T hats how the complier would get to know about the
typedef as datatype.

cheers,
Kaushal.

This is where I usually stop reading.
I can live with the occasional speling eror, I can live with the obvious

I hope you never need to ask a question I could answer.

Could I ask you to PLEASE refrain from text messaging on usenet? - its
infuriating to try and read.

And in particular it fails to appreciate the difficulties that the many
people who are not native English speakers have with it. Many of those
people are already struggling with reading and writing in a language
that is very different from their mother tongue and we should avoid
doing anything that makes it harder for them.

Precisely!

You have my thanks, because I am one of the non-native English speakers
and writers who like lurking (and occasionally posting too) in clc :)

Many stop even earlier, when they see the rude top-posting.

Well, you appear to be uneducable, since you persist in rude
top-posting. Whether that is innate stupidity or bad manners is
not yet known. You are also persisting in excessive cross-posting,
which is another indication of foolishness. Follow-ups set.

Calling a man fool because he cross-posts is not exactly good
manners for sure. And calling a man fool because of top-posting
is way more foolish than top-posting itself. Do you know that
many people top-post in real email communication, just because
they do so and it's perfectly acceptable in their communities?
Some people even find it hard to read proper quote-and-reply
stuff.

Yes, top-posting is bad here. No, calling people fools for top-posting
is no freaking good, even if silently acceptable. Some may say you're
keeping this newsgroup clean, whatever, some people say shooting people
is a good way to teach them good manners too.
