Code:

---

struct SPOT { // defines a global struct type named "SPOT"
  int x; 
  int y; 
  char name[10];
};
struct SPOT myspot;

function main()
{
   video_mode = 7;
   screen_color.blue = 1;

   // Define a local struct
   struct SPOT { 
     int x; 
     int y; 
     char name[10];
   };
   struct SPOT myspot;

   myspot.x = 10;   // **
   myspot.y = 20;   // **
}

---

In the above code, I've defined 2 structs with the same name,
one is global struct and the other is local struct, and it
compiles and run without problem. I can access the local struct
members with the line //** but is there anyway to access the global
struct members? If not, why not throw a warning message?

Thanks.

Unless I'm very much mistaken, there is no such thing as a local struct.

I think equal. For the compiler is the same struc.

Oh, maybe I'm doing a stupid thing.
Thank you both.
