Question

I attempted to make a struct declaration static (so it can only be used within the files):

static typedef struct
{
   int foo;
} MyStruct;

static MyStruct[5];

(This is in test_struct.c)
When I compiled the thing, I got this error:

test_struct.c:12: multiple storage classes in declaration of `MyStruct'

I figured if I remove the static before typedef struct ..., it’ll work, but what should I do if I really want to make the struct declaration static?

Thanks

You can declare variables as static.

static MyStruct ms[5];

I usually do it like this,

typedef struct{
   int foo;
} MyStruct;

static MyStruct   myStruct[5];
