I have two structs defined as so (in color.h
):
typedef struct rgb {
uint8_t r, g, b;
} rgb;
typedef struct hsv {
float h, s, v;
} hsv;
hsv
You can make use of a compound literal.
Quoting C11
, chapter §6.5.2.5, paragraph 3,
A postfix expression that consists of a parenthesized type name followed by a brace enclosed list of initializers is a compound literal. It provides an unnamed object whose value is given by the initializer list.
and, paragraph 5,
The value of the compound literal is that of an unnamed object initialized by the initializer list. [...]
So, in your case, the code like
hsv hsvCol = {i/255.0, 1, 1};
rgb col = hsv2rgb(hsvCol);
can be re-written as
rgb col = hsv2rgb( ( hsv ) {i/255.0, 1, 1} );
^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
