'struct' - declarations & parameters

[chris at umcp-cs.UUCP]

Well first off, writing

	struct { int i, j, k; } foo = { 1, 2, 3 };

	main () { printf ("%d %d %d\n", foo); }

is just plain illegal.  The bit about unions is also illegal.  If you
must pass a union, do something like

	union xyzzy { char *c; int i; };
	main () {
		char *s;
		...
		{
			union xyzzy temp;
			temp.c = s;
			strange (temp, 1);
		}
		...
	}

(This should be lots of fun for me: Gosling Emacs uses that union
trick for the first parameter to DefMac.  *Sigh*)

As to whether the trailing semicolon is required in structure
declarations:  all I can say is it doesn't hurt to use it.  (Though
if you want type declarations to match function declarations, it
should be optional.  I don't have to write "dummy () { ; }".)
