you defined here _both a type and a variable_.
this should not be done inside a .h file...

maybe you expected to redefine a type, and forgot to 'typedef' ?
==
struct query_resp_type {
  int type;
};

typedef struct query_resp_type query_resp;
==
after such a typedef, you will be able to use type 'query_resp'
(note that 'struct' is not part of the type name)

wrong. type 'struct query_resp' does not exist.
but 'struct query_resp_type' does.

typo issue.
