How to initialize const members of structs on the heap

I would like to allocate a structure on the heap, initialize it and return a pointer to it from a function. I\'m wondering if there\'s a way for me to initialize const membe

Answer 1

I like caf's approach, but this occured to me too

ImmutablePoint* newImmutablePoint(int x, int y){ 
   struct unconstpoint {
      int x;
      int y;
   } *p = malloc(sizeof(struct unconstpoint));
   if (p) { // guard against malloc failure
      *p.x = x;
      *p.y = y;
   }
   return (ImmutablePoint*)p;
}
