is f().c legal? How about (&(f()))->c ?

I may be missing the point here but it seems that one problem is f()
does not return a structure but rather a pointer to a structure.  I
don't know how an entire structure can be returned by a function.
This would imply that f()->c should be legal, but I don't know if
that is what you meant to say in the first place.  Seems to me that
&(f()) is the address of the pointer returned by the function f and
although (&(f()))-> is legal it isn't what you think it is.
