Well, you have to be /careful/, then: you can only reliably get
at that enum (IIRC) if it's either the first field in the structure
(A or B) or a member of that first field.

Safer, I would have said, to have it outside the union -- but
it depends on the /full details of the problem you're trying
to solve/, with which we have not been blessed.


I agree. Actually, I decided to err on the side of caution and use the type enum field in struct C (external to the related structs).
