Corrected program to follow:

struct X {
    char *s;
    int a, b;
};


main()
{
    struct X x;
    struct X *sp;
    char max[25];

    sp = &x;
 
        /* 
    sp.s = max;
        */ 
    sp->s = max;
    strcpy(x.s, "Some Stuff");
    fun(&x);
}
 
fun(stuff)
struct X *stuff;
{
        /*
    stuff->*(++s) = 'X';
        */
    *(++stuff->s) = 'X';
    printf("%s\n", stuff->s); /* I want this to print "Xme Stuff" */
}
