how to use struct in gcc?

I am of late working on gcc compiler. whenevr i m compiling my code, m encountering problem with declaration of structure. How to tackle this problem. Do i need to write the syntax differently in gcc?. 开发者_如何学运维if yes, how? please suggest something.

I am reasonably sure gcc conforms to C standards, for a more succinct explanation than one found in the standard, please, turn to pages 148-150 of C: A Reference Manual.

So something simple like this linked list element:

struct foo 
{
  int a;
  float b;
  char *s;
  struct foo *next;
} my_struct;

should work.

If your needs are more complex.. then you should post your non-working example.
