passing VAR s: POINTER TO ARRAY OF CHAR passes compilation but later doesn't compile in C

[norayr]

in case we have function with this signature:

PROCEDURE Get*(VAR s: POINTER TO ARRAY OF CHAR);

it compiles to:

export void modulename_Get (struct {
        ADDRESS len[1];
        CHAR data[1];
} **s);


void modulename_Get (struct {
        ADDRESS len[1];
        CHAR data[1];
} **s)
{
...

and then C compiler doesn't compile the generated C code with the following error:

modulename.c:16:25: warning: anonymous struct declared inside parameter list will not be visible outside of this definition or declaration
   16 | export void modulename_Get (struct {
      |                         ^~~~~~

same without VAR by the way.
left here to look at this one day.

[diegosardina]

in case we have function with this signature:

PROCEDURE Get*(VAR s: POINTER TO ARRAY OF CHAR);

This procedure is not usable in Oberon-2 because that type is anonymous (and it looks like the same in C today).
