typedef struct {
 int blah;
 float bar;
} foo_t ;

/* pass by reference */

void my_funcie1(foo_t * foo)
{
  foo -> blah = 12;
}

/* pass by value (generally slower) */

void my_funcie2(foo_t foo)
{
  foo.blah = 12;
}

int main(void)
{
 foo_t bar;

 my_funcie1(&bar);
 my_funcie2(bar);

 return 0;
}

Cheers, flux.
