structure assignment  Technical Information  structure assignment




_T_h_e _C  _P_r_o_g_r_a_m_m_i_n_g _L_a_n_g_u_a_g_e, ed. 2  forbids structure assignment,
the passing of  structures to functions, and returning structures
from  functions  (as  opposed  to  the  passing or  returning  of
_p_o_i_n_t_e_r_s  to structures).   The COHERENT  C compiler  lifts these
restrictions.

Some  C  compilers transform  structure  arguments and  structure
returns into structure  pointers.  Note that the use of structure
assignment, structure arguments,  or structure returns may create
problems when porting the code to another C compiler.

***** Notes *****

Because this feature deviates  from the description of the C lan-
guage found  in the first edition of  _T_h_e _C _P_r_o_g_r_a_m_m_i_n_g _L_a_n_g_u_a_g_e,
compiling with  the -VSBOOK option will flag  all points where it
occurs in your program.
