title: request for member 's' in something not a structure or union
body: <p>I'm trying to use an array of structs and everytime I try to assign a value to any struct, it gives me this error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>request for member 's' in something not a structure or union
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My struct:</p>
  
  <pre><code>struct {
      char s;
      int lineNum;
  } item;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm declaring it this way:</p>
  
  <pre><code>struct item * stack[100];
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And then:</p>
  
  <pre><code>/* both lines gives me the error */
      stack[0].s = 'a';
      stack[0].lineNum = 1;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Am I missing something here?</p>
