Really?

So if I have a class declared as

A.h:
  class A { int X; float Y; }

A.c:

void makeAlpha(A* alpha) {
   alpha.X = 27;
   alpha.Y = 82.3;
}

B.c:
void useAlpha() {
   A alpha;
   makeAlpha(&alpha);
   printf("%d\n", alpha.X);
}

And I compile A.c, then change A.h to put the member variables in the 
opposite order, then compile B.c, and link the results together, you're 
telling me the C++ standard tells me that shouldn't link?

I'm impressed.
