Only if they are indifferent scopes. If both names have the same scope,
it's a constraint violation (6.7p3), because typedef names and object
names are both from the "ordinary identifiers" name space (6.2.3p1).

Name spaces should not be confused with C++ namespaces, which are a
different concept entirely.

Yes, because struct tags are in the tag name space, while object names
are in the ordinary identifiers name space, so there's no conflict. The
reason for that distinction is simple: in C, you can never use a struct
tag without also using the 'struct' keyword.

This is a key difference between C and C++: since C++ allows use of a
tag with no keyword, tags and object names can conflict with each other.
As a result, while the C++ standard does in fact mention the concept of
a "name space" in three different locations, it's much less important in
C++; the standard doesn't even bother to define the term.
