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

You really have to distinguish initialization of static or auto variables and dynamic allocation on the head. For the first, do named initializers, for the second a well specified init function.

All that can be nicely packed into macros do give you an easy static/auto intialization and something similar to new in C++.
