Could someone please clarify the correct implementation of structure
tags and incomplete types as in the following fragments, assume there
are no other declarations of struct foo in scope:-
1a.
struct foo {int i;};
struct foo;
struct foo bar;
1b.
struct foo;
struct foo {int i;};
struct foo bar;
Should the compiler object to 1a but not to 1b as implied in 3.5.2.3?
If so it seems many compilers allow both.
2a
int bar(struct foo);
struct foo {int i;};
2b
struct foo;
int bar(struct foo);
struct foo {int i;};
Is the empty structure declaration necessary?
If you mail any replies please cc to paul@tetrauk.uucp
Thanks
