struct definition inside a function

[Anuz Pratap Singh Tomar]

Hi all,
I have not seen a struct define inside a function in kernel code and
couldn't find any guidelines if it's permitted or frowned upon?

int fn(int i)
{
 struct my_struct {
int var1;
int var2
}; /* is this allowed? */
struct my_struct struct_local;


return 0;
}
I'll appreciate any insight on this?

Thank you
