Struct Inheritance in C

Question

Can I inherit a structure in C? If yes, how?

Answer 1

If your compiler supports anonymous structs, you can do this:

typedef struct Base
{
    // base members
} Base_t;

typedef struct
{
   struct Base;  //anonymous struct

   // derived members

} Derived_t;

This way, base stuct members can be acessed directly, which is nicer.
