Thread: passing a structure

Yes... how you pass it depends on what you want to do with the struct within the function.

Code:

struct foo
{
    // Data members go here
};

void func1(foo f)   // Passed by copy
{
    // Do stuff with f
}

void func2(foo* f)  // Passed by pointer/reference
{
    // Do stuff with f
}

void func3(foo& f)  // Passed by reference
{
    // Do stuff with f
}

int main()
{
    foo bar;

    func1(bar);   // Passed by copy

    func2(&bar);  // Passed by pointer/reference

    func3(bar);   // Passed by reference

    return 0;
}
