Why can't this work under DJGPP?
It did work under Visual C++ and Turbo C++...

typedef struct {
    int one;
    } BASE;

typedef struct : BASE {
    int two;
    } DERIVED;

Is this valid under ANSI C (c++?) ?
What I'm trying to do is to derive a class called DERIVED from BASE.
Hopefully, this avoids those silly constructors during creation.



Note: My actual code was...

typedef DWORD E3DBINARYHEADER;

typedef struct {
	E3DBINARYHEADER Header;
	} bhCHUNK;

typedef struct : bhCHUNK {
	CHAR    Name[40];
	} bhGROUP;

typedef struct : bhGROUP {
	MAT3X4  TMat;
	MAT3X4  ITMat;
	} bhOBJECT;
