Constructor for structs in C

Question

Given:

struct objStruct {
    int id;
    int value;
};

typedef struct objStruct Object;

Is there a shortcut to allocate and initialize the ob

Answer 1

In C it is possible to declare an inline function with the same name as structure:

struct my
{
    int a;
};

inline struct my* my(int* a)
{
    return (struct my*)(a);
}

//somewhere in code
int num = 123;
struct my *sample = my(&num);
//somewhere in code

It looks pretty similar to C++ ctors.
