structure assignment -- Definition The C Programming Language, second edition forbids structure assignment, the passing of structures to functions, and returning structures from functions (as opposed to the passing or returning of pointers to structures). The COHERENT C compiler lifts these restrictions. Some C compilers transform structure arguments and structure returns into structure pointers. Note that the use of structure assignment, structure arguments, or structure returns may create problems when porting the code to another C compiler. See Also portability, Programming COHERENT, struct, structure Notes Because this feature deviates from the description of the C language found in the first edition of The C Programming Language compiling with the - VSBOOK option will flag all points where it occurs in your program.
