:I understood that if i declare a union within a struct - I can access
:the union fields without directly specifying the union name.
===========
You understood incorrectly.
===========
:
:For example:
:
:if I have declared:
:
:typedef struct {
:  enum _nodeType {leaf=1,interior} nodeType;
:  union {
:    int leaf;
:    char interior;
:  } data;
:} two3Node;
:
:two3Node node;
:
:then I should be able to access the leaf field by "node.leaf" (Ofcorse
:that "node.data.leaf" would work, but that is what I want to avoid...).
:
:Is it true? how exactly can I do it?
:thanks in advance.
