Default values on arguments in C functions and function overloading in C

Question

Converting a C++ lib to ANSI C and it seems like though ANSI C doesn\'t support default values for function variables or am I mistaken? What I want is something like

Answer 1

There is a way to support as many default parameters you need, just use a structure.

// Populate structure with var list and set any default values
struct FooVars {
  int int_Var1 = 1;  // One is the default value
  char char_Command[2] = {"+"};
  float float_Var2 = 10.5;
};
struct FooVars MainStruct;

//...
// Switch out any values needed, leave the rest alone
MainStruct.float_Var2 = 22.8;
Myfunc(MainStruct);  // Call the function which at this point will add 1 to 22.8.
//...

void Myfunc( struct FooVars *MyFoo ) {
  switch(MyFoo.char_Command) {
    case '+':
      printf("Result is %i %c %f.1 = %f\n" MyFoo.int_Var1, MyFoo.char_Command, MyFoo.float_Var2, (MyFoo.float_Var2 + MyFoo.int_Var1);
      break;
    case '*':
      // Insert multiply here, you get the point...
      break;
    case '//':
      // Insert divide here...
      break;
  }
}
