Casting struct into int

Question

Is there a clean way of casting a struct into an uint64_t or any other int, given that struct in <= to the sizeof int? The only thing I can think of is only an \'ok\' sol

Answer 1

you can use pointers and it will be easy for example:

struct s {
    int a:8;
    int b:4;
    int c:4;
    int d:8;
    int e:8; }* st;

st->b = 0x8;
st->c = 1;
int *struct_as_int = st;

hope it helps
