I have this piece of code:
Every time I add a new field in the struct I have to manualy set NFIELD to the right number. Every field of the struct is always int so you can access the single field or you can access through the array.Code:#define NFIELDS 4 typedef union { int Par[NFIELDS]; struct { int Field1; int Field2; int Field3; int Field4; }; } Par_t;
How can I get rid of the macro NFIELDS and use instead the size of the struct to avoid errors when I add a new field inside the struct?
This should do it.
Code:#include <stdio.h> typedef union { struct foo { int Field1; int Field2; int Field3; int Field4; } Sar; int Par[sizeof(struct foo)/sizeof(int)]; } Par_t; int main() { Par_t p; printf("%zd\n", sizeof(p)); printf("%zd\n", sizeof(p.Sar)); printf("%zd\n", sizeof(p.Par)); return 0; }
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
This is a good solution, Thank you!
