Thread: ADT delcaration question

Hi all:

I have written the following block of code:

Code:

typedef struct VIEW_TAG
{
	char name[16];
	VIEW_MEMBER *ptrViewMembers;
	VIEW_MEMBER *ptrLastAddedMember;
	struct VIEW_TAG *ptrNextView;
}VIEW;

It complied OK, but my question is that is it correct to create a member of the a structure itself in the very same structure? Does not sound logical?

My guess is that during compiling, does not know what a "VIEW_TAG" and will give me an error, but it does not.

Can anyone help?

Cheers

Thank you laserlight.
