// When this code is compiled (w. gcc), the following errors are given:

//   Compiling: test.cpp
//   rgb.cpp(25) Error: semicolon missing after declaration of `struct
Class1::Abc'
//   In method `int Class2::Func(class Class2 *)':
//   rgb.cpp(29) Error: parse error before `;'
//   There were some errors

// What is the problem here? (in Borland C++ this works)
//  Thanks, Richard. (Please cc your solution to my email address)

class Class1
{ public:
  typedef char byte;
  typedef struct { byte a; byte b; byte c; } Abc;
};

class Class2 : public Class1
{ public:
  Abc Func(void);
};

Class1::Abc Class2::Func(void)
{ Abc abc;     // this is line 25
  abc.a='a';
  abc.b='b';
  abc.c='c';
  return abc;  // this is line 29
}

// end.
