how to assign multiple values into a struct at once?

Question

I can do this on initialization for a struct Foo:

Foo foo =  {bunch, of, things, initialized};

but, I can\'t do this:

Foo f         


        

Answer 1

Try this:

Foo foo;
foo = (Foo){bunch, of, things, initialized};

This will work if you have a good compiler (e.g. GCC). You might need to turn on C99 mode with --std=gnu99, I'm not sure.
