Function returning a struct

[Rafael Vasquez]

I am having some issues with structure handling. The error I'm getting reads:

expected initializer before 'function_name'

Here is some sample code for what I'm trying to do:

struct my_struct{
int a;
int b;
};

.....
//This next line is the line in which the error occurs
my_struct function_name(my_struct my_argument){
.....
}

Does anyone have any ideas on what is causing this and how to fix it?
