md2 loading

I am reading a tutorial on md2 loading and all the structores for the md2 look like this:
and the tutorials also says that the data types must be identical to this. However I was wondering if I could do it like this:
and when I need a pointer I just declare that type as a pointer. I.E instead of this:
foo(MD2_TEXTCOORD_PTR);
I could do this:
foo(MD2_TEXTCOORD *md2);

that should be fine, they are equivalent
thanks. rating up up for you.

Wow all it took was 7 words, :D
Thanks, now i hope i wasn't horribly wrong somehow :D
their equivalent assuming your programming in c++. if your in c, the typedef helps you. You see, when you declare a struct in c, it looks like this
//DEFINITION
struct MyStruct
{
int Content1;
int Content2;
};
int main()
{
struct MyStruct WhateverImGonnaCallThisVar; //the actual DECLARATION
WhateverImGonnaCallThisVar.Content1 = 0;
return 0;
}
******************************
with c++, the struct is optional, however, the typedef version, eliminates the need for the struct in the declaration (in both c and c++) but if your programming in c++, dont do the typedef
EDIT: to clarify, no matter what you do (in c or c++), you need the struct keyword before the definition of the class
hope that helps

My only problem was knowing if I had to use the same name or not. Thanks any ways and rating up for you.
