Why pass structs? (not struct pointers)

[Dave Decot]

The example I provided to demonstrate a syntax for array lvalues incorrectly
included several declarations for items which should have been "char" instead
of "int".  Here's the example again, corrected.

#define ARRSIZ 20

main ()
{
  char (reverse())[ARRSIZ];	/* function returning array [ARRSIZ] of char */

  char arr[ARRSIZ] = "this is amazing";

    arr[] = reverse(arr[]);
    printf("%s\n", arr);
}

char (reverse(s))[ARRSIZ]
char s[ARRSIZ];
{
 char tmp[ARRSIZ], *tp = tmp;
 int i;

   for (i = strlen(s)-1; i >= 0; i--)
       *tp++ = s[i];

   *tp = '\0';

   return tmp[];
}
