But so can you do

        struct diff_options *diffopt;

without the declaration, no?  That is:

        $ cat >x.c <<\EOF
        struct foo {
                struct bar *ptr;
        };

        int foo_is_null(struct foo *foo)
        {
                return foo == 0;
        }
        EOF
        $ gcc -Wall -c x.c
