C : typedef struct name {…}; VS typedef struct{…} name;

Question

As the title says, I have this code:

    typedef struct Book{
        int id;
        char title[256];
        char summ         


        

Answer 1

The other answers are all correct and useful, but maybe longer that necessary. Do this:

typedef struct Book Book;
typedef struct Books Books;
typedef struct Author Author;

struct Book {
    ... as you wish ...
};

struct Author {
    ... as you wish ...
};

struct Books {
    ... as you wish ...
};

You can define the your struct's in any order provided they only contain pointers to other struct's.
