C (not c++) 2 structures referencing each other. possible?

Asked by ciuly in C Programming Language

Hi,

I have 2 structers which map to some data that can reference one another.

basically, I start with a list of boxes. and each box can contain 0 or more boxes (the count is the immediat child and not the total inner boxes of all boxes)

how can I define the structures so that it compiles and it's usable? if this is not possible, how can I define my datatype (list of boxes and each box contains list of boxes)?

} Box;
 
typedef struct TBoxes{
  int count;
  Box* boxes;
} Boxes;
