[SOLVED] use typedef from another file

Fritz_Doll · 05-18-2011, 05:21 PM

I want to use a typedef defined in another file, but not sure how to do this; would also like to do the same thing for enums. How do I go about doing this?
main.c

Code:

void main(){
...
//Create DATA type variables here
DATA d1;
DATA d2;
...
}

second.c

Code:

struct dat{
int var1;
int var2;
};
typedef struct data DATA;

Assuming you're using C/C++, it sounds like a job for a header file, e.g.

Code:

#include "my_defs.h"
