No - in fact in C++ it's the other way around, the word struct is optional, but you NEED to give the name of the struct, e.g.
Code:
struct Section {
// your stuff goes here
};
Section someFunction(// some parameters) ;
should work just fine.
How is the compiler going to know WHICH of your potentially many structs that you want to use?
Can I make a comment on your style as well:
Code:
void populateGeometry(void);
static tag_t createSplineThruPoints(struct Section);
static struct SectionformSection(struct Section Section1,struct Section Section2);
static struct SectionxtractPoints(struct Section Section1,int FromPoint, int ToPoint);
Some of your functions begin with upper (blue) case, other functions start with lower case (red), and then you mix upper and lower case for the next words in the function name (green). I would also prefer correct spelling of "extract", rather than "xtract" - it's bound to confuse people with that sort of naming convention. Confused programmers make mistakes more often than those that are not confused. Consistancy reduces the chance of someone being confused.
