Life

Oh... did I say I love Montreal? Anyhow... a lot of college application work to be done now. Lots of other school work too, as the semester is slowly coming to an end.

Coding

I have a quiz/test tomorrow on structs, it shouldn't be too bad.

Sidenote: from what i understand of structs in C (well, my class teaches C++ with the AP classes)

struct FOO { int bar; int baz };

would create a struct 'handler' named FOO that has two int elements... from that onwards, if you want a FOO struct, you do:

FOO x = {1,2};

and x will be initialized such that x.bar is 1 and x.baz is 2.

so, why in a lot of GNOME code and other code, do i see this:

typedef struct {
	int bar;
	int baz;
} FOO;

so that the struct has no 'handler' at all, and only typedef'd into a type? what's the difference between doing this and just naming the struct with a handler?
