Thread: Passing members of structs to functions

How I pass a member of a struct to a function? I can't pass the whole struct because this isn't one of my own functions. Any ideas?

As you pass a normal variable

Code:

struct my_struct {
  int x;
  int y;
};

int do_stuff(int x) {
  return 0; /* hey who said it was a useful function */
}

int main(void) {
  struct my_struct n = {1, 2};

  do_stuff(n.x);

  return 0;
}

thanks for the replies, but more specifically how do I pass an array of chars in a struct to a function?

Same idea...but I'm in a helpful mood today.

Code:

#define NAME_SIZE  8

struct my_struct {
  char name[NAME_SIZE];
};

int do_stuff(char *name) {
  printf("what is your name?");
  fgets(name, NAME_SIZE, stdin);

  return 0; /* hey who said it was a useful function */
}

int main(void) {
  struct my_struct n;

  do_stuff(n.name);

  printf("My name is %n, and I'm addicted to programming.", n.name);

  return 0;
}

Thanks a lot. Must be something wrong with my code then but that's WINAPI - another story....

I am plenty familiar with the WinAPI if you had a more specific question.
