Thread: Structs as argument

As long as you're aware that the names don't have to be the same (they can be if you want, but it can lead to confusion).

As to the question, I have no idea why you would expect passing a struct to a function to be different from passing a struct to a function. (EDIT: But I suppose I should say that you are correct: passing a struct to a function is not different from passing a struct to a function, so your code is fine.)

oh. I saw this example about char* pointers, hence the question about structs

Code:

int my_new(char **obj) {
    *obj = malloc(somesize);
}

and then call this from your function like this:

Code:

char *obj;

my_new(&obj);

/* work on obj */

free(obj)

Hence was wondering if it applies to structs
