Could you please give an example of what would break? Perhaps I'm being dense, but it seems a new C standard supporting this would still compile existing code

Could you please give an example of what would break? Perhaps I'm being dense, but it seems a new C standard supporting this would still compile existing code just as C++ can.
- keyneus 3y agoIn C, it's perfectly legal to do this: struct S { ... }; typedef int S; That's not valid in C++ (so would be a breaking change in C, if it were to adopt this). I don't really think changing this in C would break all that much code, but it's definitely not backwards compatible.
