I don't think so... As far as I can find in the standard, only
certain type names ending in _t are reserved, namely:
[#1] Type names beginning with int or uint and ending with
_t may be added to the types defined in the <inttypes.h>
header. Macro names beginning with INT or UINT and ending
with _MAX or _MIN, or macro names beginning with PRI or SCN
followed by any lower case letter or X may be added to the
macros defined in the <inttypes.h> header.
So struct x_t should be fine because that's a structure tag and
not a type name.
