Displaying the name of the structure?

[Leojeen]

Hi,
Is there a way to display the name of the structure, rather than its contents??
suppose we have

typedef struct{
                      int x;
                      char s[123];
                      }account;

and I want to print out the world "account".
PS: In my case, there is several structures, that is why typing their names manually will be difficult..

So no idea!???

You mean during run-time? No, no standard way at least. You'd need to store it as a member. You could do something like:

#ifdef DEBUG
const char *sname_account = "struct account";
#endif
...
typedef struct{
#ifdef DEBUG
const char *sname;
#endif
int x;
char s[123];
}account;

account myacc;
#ifdef DEBUG
myacc.sname = sname_account;

#endif
Then define DEBUG when you want to keep track of the structure names, but it's nothing pretty as a permanent solution, only really useful for debugging.
