This entire discussion is off-topic here, since it is
not a g++ issue.

Post additional messages on this topic to the
comp.lang.c++  newsgroup.

Does your 'tool' make all of the struct data members 'static'?
That would prevent you from having multiple copies of
a given structure that actually does anything useful - since
all of the copies would be refering to the same data items
(e.g. 5 different instances of foo1Class will all be accessing
and updating the single foo1Class::n).
