How to specify storage class specifier for an object of struct without a name?

Question

I am using a struct like:

struct{
    int a;
    char b[100];
}name;

I want to use static storage class specifier on name. How can I do that?

Answer 1

use the word static in front of it:

static struct{
    int a;
    char b[100];
} name;

This will declare a variable named name with the type struct { ... } and the storage class specifier static.

To initialize the member of the struct, you can use

static struct{
    int a;
    char b[100];
} name = {5};
