In C, a structure member may be of any type except function returning some type, any incomplete type, any variably modified type, and void. Hence storage class specifiers can break this rule. No my friend, What I wanted to know is that whether the member element of a structure can be assigned static storage classes....but I think after some ponderings I got my answer...its like this..... " If an element is assigned static storage class, all its objects should have that element as static which may not be desirable " -- its just my self explaination ... Kindly mention if my reasoning is not befitting Regards, Debasish Karmennevaya Dhikaraste, Maaphaaleshu Kadaachanah || |

In this case objects of a structure is working on the structure, not the structure members directly. One of the beautiful complexities of C and C++, that I too got burned on once. I think (and hence might be wrong) that the language D addresses this. -- Chris > I tried 'Googling' a few times...but not getting the reason/logic for > it.... > Can anyone help me in this ? > With regards, > Debasish > > Karmennevaya Dhikaraste, Maaphaaleshu Kadaachanah > > Unlimited freedom, unlimited storage.
