Both also had associated types.

It's worth pointing out that what matter here is that the type and
offset of x and y match those of the previous struct.

The pointers could be of any type and the syntax was like this (using
char * as an extreme example):
double ydist(a, b)
char *a, *b;
{
return fabs(a->y - b->y);
}

Just to be clear, the clash could come from either a mismatch of type or
of offset withing the struct. Here you have (as far as 1974 C is
concerned) done both, so it's not clear that either would be a problem.
