functions returning structures and addressability

[Mike Caplinger]

Probably an old question, but is the code

struct foo {
int x, y;
};

struct foo f();

{
...
... = f().x;
}

legal C or not? The Apollo C compiler accepts it, the Sun PCC rejects
it with a "must be addressable" message. Does ANSI C say anything about
this?

Please respond to me, I don't read this group.
