these should indeed give a warning, as you introduce a new structure t2/t3 here. You want to use struct test2* and struct test3* here. If we don't get a warning here for older compilers it may be due to some weird interaction in the warning machinery that is confused by the decl for t2/t3. But this surely isn't going to be fixed in older compilers. Richard.
