How to create a struct on the stack in C?

Question

I understand how to create a struct on the heap using malloc. Was looking for some documentation regarding creating a struct in C on the stack but all docs. seem to talk about struct creation on heap only.

Answer 1

The same way you declare any variable on the stack:

struct my_struct {...};  int main(int argc, char **argv) {     struct my_struct my_variable;     // Declare struct on stack     .     .     . } 

Answer 2

To declare a struct on the stack simply declare it as a normal / non-pointer value

typedef struct {    int field1;   int field2; } C;  void foo() {    C local;   local.field1 = 42; }
