[Bug c/24405] New: Trying to compile three size_t's in a struct


I get the following error when compile the code below:

main.c:47: warning: declaration does not declare anything
main.c:47: warning: no semicolon at end of struct or union
main.c:47: error: syntax error before numeric constant
main.c:49: error: syntax error before '}' token
main.c: In function `setup_vars':
main.c:89: error: invalid application of `sizeof' to an incomplete type
main.c:91: error: invalid use of undefined type `struct tape_header'
main.c: At top level:
main.c:62: error: storage size of `tape_hdr' isn't known
make: *** [main.o] Error 1

If I uncomment the bottom two size_t's it works. I tried to look into this and
somewhere I found that this is a GCC problem ??? I am not so sure about that,
but can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong ?

struct tape_header
{
        char ident [6];                         // flows
        char label [128];                       // Tape Label
        char last_bar_code [128];               // last known bar code
        size_t bytes_used;                      // Bytes written to tape
        size_t block_size;                      // Block size at what tape was
format
        size_t last_block_used;                 // Where did we stop
};

gcc -v
