I want to know if it is possible to limit the enumeration in how to access it by placing it inside the structure. I know this will work in C ++ (where I got this idea), but I don't know if this will work in c. So for example, if I have two different structures
struct SaticArrayA
{
enum { MAX_SIZE = 10 };
int array[MAX_SIZE];
};
struct SaticArrayB
{
enum { MAX_SIZE = 20 };
int array[MAX_SIZE];
};
Will it even be close to compiling? Basically, I want to do what I would do in C ++ and give myself a general naming convention in the “classes” so that I can ask any array about what size it is, etc.
(ps I essentially try to give myself a better static array in c that will not lose size information (by decomposing into a pointer), the second one I'm trying to pass to another area).
