Recently, there was some discussion about a Lightspeed C function which returned a structure. Are the following structure features in draft ANSII C? structure return from a function structure passing to a function structure assignment among variables Lightspeed C claims to be "ANSII compatible", but gags on the structure assignment, after a function returns the value. The book, "C: A Reference Manual" just says, "newer compilers now allow structures to be assigned, ...." This is vague.

They've also been in de-facto C for a long time, although they slightly postdate K&R1. -- 1972: Saturn V #15 flight-ready| Henry Spencer at U of Toronto Zoology 1990: birds nesting in engines | uunet!attcan!utzoo!henry henry@zoo.toronto.edu
