How to initialize an Objective-C struct in constructor?

Question

I´m using a struct on Objective-C to store some data, something like this:

@interface Interface : NSObject
{
    // my Data
    struct Data
    {
        __unsafe_unretained BOOL isInit;
        __unsafe_unretained BOOL isRegister;
        __unsafe_unretained NSString* myValue;
        
       // Data() : isInit(false), isRegister(false), myValue(@"mYv4lue") {} // Constructor doesnt work
    };

    struct Data myData;  // Create Struct
}

But I can't compile with a constructor. I want the values take some default value when I create the struct.

How can I do this?

You could initialize a struct as follows using static object for default settings.

typedef struct
{
    BOOL isInit;
    BOOL isRegister;
    __unsafe_unretained NSString* myValue;

} Data;
static Data dataInit = { .isInit = NO, .isRegister = NO, .myValue = @"mYv4lue"};

Data myCopyOfDataInitialized = dataInit;
