I just have one question about structures. Is it not possible to use a structure as an argument for a function?

for example:



struct my_structure


{


 int x;


 int y;


};





void do_something(my_structure a)


{


  a.x = 1;


  a.y = 2;


}

The above wouldn't be valid? I tried doing something like this and it doesn't compile.

EDIT: Looks like you can't declare structure types locally either.

Yeah, unfortunatly you can't pass structure instances into functions.

Here's the workaround:



#define MAX_MY_STRUCTURE 100





struct my_structure


{


    int x;


    int y;


};








my_structure stack_o_structs[MAX_MY_STRUCTURE];





void do_something( int idx )


{


    stack_o_structs[idx].x = 1;


    stack_o_structs[idx].y = 2;


}

Yeah, that's what I ended up doing. It's not so bad, actually. Atleast structures are possible.
