Hey gang,
Actually, 2 questions:
1) What's the difference between:
struct customStruct {
int RecID;
char *Name;
};
and
typedef struct customStruct {
int RecID;
char *Name;
};
??
I had the latter, but when I started moving my code into
different files to reorganize things, gcc started giving
me warnings. The warnings went away when I moved to the
former. I can't quite figure out what the difference is.
Is one correct and the other not?
2) I'm a self-taught C programmer. That means that I know
a lot, but I often bump into things that I should know
(like question #1) that I don't. Does anyone have a
suggestion for a mailing list that would be good for
asking questions like the above? Keep in mind that
I'm not an amature, I'm just not formally trained, so
I bump into lots of areas that I'm not sure what I'm
doing because I haven't studied it yet ;)
