What do you call an instance of a struct?

c, class, struct

Solution

It is perfectly valid to call it an object even in C.

C99 Standard §3.15: Para 1:

object region of data storage in the execution environment, the contents of which can represent values

Problem

This is purely out of interest. I searched around a bit, knowing that instances of `classes` are called `objects`, but I couldn't find what the correct word is for an instance of a `struct` in C, C++, C#, etc. Do we even have a word for this?
