What is wrong with this?

[JustSomeGuy]

typedef struct
{
unsigned char item_type;
unsigned char res;
unsigned short item_len;
} item_type;

if (item.item_type != 0x30)

Gives the error:
rq.h(46) : error C2274: 'function-style cast' : illegal as right side of '.'
operator

VC++ 6.0

WTF is 'item'?

Your compiler may be confused because you have declared
"item_type" as a typedef and also as a member. Try changing
the names:

struct item_struct
{
unsigned char item_ID;
unsigned char res;
unsigned short item_len;
};
Note that in C++, there is no "typedef" required. Also, if you
give us more information about the "big picture", we could tell
you a better method of design that doesn't need to know about
"item_type" or "item_ID" field.

This is unnecessary in C++.
{
unsigned char item_type;
unsigned char res;
unsigned short item_len;
} item_type;

You typdefed the struct to the same name as one of the members? What
exactly are you trying to do here?

Sorry... gcc liked this vc++ didn't.
because item_type being the type is the same name as one of its members.
