Code examples

The following code example fails the check and will give a warning:

struct n01_tag_vs_var {
  int n02_field_vs_var;
  int n03_field_vs_func;
} n01_tag_vs_var;

int n04_var_vs_label;

int n02_field_vs_var;

void n03_field_vs_func(void) {
 n04_var_vs_label:
}

The following code example passes the check and will not give a warning about this issue:

struct s {
  int n01_field_vs_field;
};

union u {
  int n01_field_vs_field;
  int u2;
};
