Return struct

How can i return a structure, I have tried this:

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

struct list 
{
	int one, two=0;
};
typedef struct list item;

int main()
{
	item thingM;	
	thingM = funct();
	printf("%d\n", thingM.one);
}

item funct()
{
	item thing;
	thing.one = 10;
	return thing;
}

But i get the error message:

Code:

new.c:5: error: expected ‘:’, ‘,’, ‘;’, ‘}’ or ‘__attribute__’ before ‘=’ token
new.c: In function ‘main’:
new.c:12: error: incompatible types in assignment
new.c: At top level:
new.c:16: error: conflicting types for ‘funct’
new.c:12: error: previous implicit declaration of ‘funct’ was here

You need a prototype for funct(), or you need to define it before main(). IE:

Code:

#include <stdio.h>


struct list
{
	int one, two;
};
typedef struct list item;

item funct();

int main()
{
	item thingM;
	thingM = funct();
	printf("%d\n", thingM.one);
}

item funct()
{
	item thing;
	thing.one = 10;
	return thing;
}

This worked for me.

Furthermore, you cannot assign values inside the struct declaration.
