Structure scope is the context just inside the braces associated with a structure definition.

StructureDefinition ::= StandardStructureDefinition | BitFieldStructureDefinition | DerivedFromSimpleStructureDefinition

There are three different subsets of structure definition, based on how the structure was defined.

MemberFunctionDeclaration ::= FunctionDeclaration
FunctionDeclaration ::= (DataStructureType | ‘void’) S (‘*’)? S? IdentifierName S? ‘(‘ S? ParameterList S? ‘)’ S? ‘{‘ S? FunctionBodyDefinition S? ‘}’ S? ‘;’

For member function declarations in structure definitions, the function name uniquely identifies the function.  The name is an identifier that has not appeared earlier in the definition as a construct name, an enumerated constant block name, an enumerated constant name, a member variable name, or a member function name.

Member functions can be declared in standard structure definitions and bit field structure definitions, but not derived-from-simple structure definitions.
