Steve,
In my response I assumed that Nikhil's question meant declaring a
variable x in the same scope as a struct declaration that includes a
member x (as you point out). I can see why someone might have
interpreted the question differently, but since declaring a variable
inside a struct is not possible, I never assumed that interpretation.
Thanks for the clarification. I think we are in full agreement.
Arturo

Actually, if you consider a struct to be a scope, then this isn't
possible. You can't declare a variable inside a struct, you can
only declare struct members. And you can't declare two members
with the same name in the same struct (i.e. scope).
But you could declare a variable named x in the same scope as a
struct which had a member named x inside it.
This may have been clear already, but I wanted to avoid confusion.
