struct definition inside a function

[Anuz Pratap Singh Tomar <chambilkethakur@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I have not seen a struct define inside a function in kernel code and couldn't find any guidelines if it's permitted or frowned upon?

int fn(int i)

{

 struct my_struct {

int var1;

int var2

}; /* is this allowed? */

struct my_struct struct_local;

return 0;

}

I'll appreciate any insight on this?

Anuz
