title: C: pointer to struct in the struct definition
body: <p>How can I have a pointer to the next struct in the definition of this struct:</p>
  
  <pre><code>typedef struct A {
    int a;
    int b;
    A*  next;
  } A;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>this is how I first wrote it but it does not work.</p>
