using struct keyword in variable declaration in C++

Question

I have a feeling this may be related to C syntax, but I started my programming life with C++ so I am not sure.

Basically I have seen this:

struct tm          


        

Answer 1

In your example tm can have been a typecasted structure.

e.g.

typedef struct tm_t
{
  int x; 
}tm;

and then you can do

tm t;
