About default C struct values, what about this code?
c, struct
Solution
If you want to set a struct object in one go and you have a C99 compiler, try this:
struct stuff {
int stuff_a;
int stuff_b;
// and so on...
};
struct stuff foo;
/* ... code ... */
foo = (struct stuff){.stuff_b = 42, .stuff_a = -1000};
Otherwise, with a C89 compiler, you have to set each member one by one:
foo.stuff_b = 42;
foo.stuff_a = -1000;

The original line
struct a{ a() : i(0), j(0) {} INT i; INT j;}
is a syntax error in C.
Problem
I'm trying to create structs with default values. I don't know how to accomplish this because every code that I see, is about initialising, and I would it for the natural way like... ``` struct stuff { int stuff_a = 1; int stuff_b = 2... ...and so on... }; ``` and looking about, I found this (C++) code: ``` struct a{ a() : i(0), j(0) {}; INT i; INT j;} ``` I never saw anything like this for C. Please, help me to understand it; I think that it is very nice! UPDATE: Wait, I'm asking about C!!!! Why changed my question? If that is not possible in C just say... I don't know C++, I didn't know that was about C++...
