Struct (with pointer) to byte array

[rabencor]

Hi,

I have a struct that I need to convert to a byte(=char) array. Normally, I know how to do that using memcpy() but in this case the struct contains a pointer that I use to allocate memory dynamically elsewhere is my program.

Something like:

struct my_struct {
    int size;
    int num;
    int *list;
} sb;

and later on:

sb.list = (int*)malloc(some_var);

Is this even possible? If it is, what approach should I follow?

Thanks.

first convert struct contents without pointer, then convert memory pointed by the pointer
