An RPC/XDR struct
is declared almost exactly like its C counterpart. It looks like the following:
struct-definition: struct struct-ident "{" declaration-list "}"
declaration-list: declaration ";" declaration ";" declaration-list
The following XDR structure is an example of a two-dimensional coordinate and the C structure that it compiles into:
struct coord { struct coord { int x; --> int x; int y; int y; }; }; typedef struct coord coord;
The output is identical to the input, except for the added typedef
at the end of the output. This enables one to use coord instead of struct
coord when declaring items.
