Global structure variable initialization

[koffee]

Hi people,

I've got a question on global structure initialization.

A global variable like int can be explicitly initialized as:
int Global = 1;

But how can I explicitly initialize a self-defined global structure?
like:

typedef mystruct {
int a;
int b;
//...
} Mystruct;

I searched this group and heard that a global variable will be
initialized to zero or NULL implicitly. But what if members in a
global structure needs to be initialized to values other than 0???

Thanks every one!!!

Sorry I made a mistake in the struct def.

typedef struct mystruct {
int a;
int b;
//...

} Mystruct;

Sorry I made a mistake in the struct def.

typedef struct mystruct {
int a;
int b;
//...

} Mystruct;

Mystruct thing = { 42, 29, //...
};

This initializes thing.a to 42, thing.b to 29, ...

Mystruct thing = { 42, 29, //...
};

This initializes thing.a to 42, thing.b to 29, ...

Ok THanks! I got it!

struct foo {

char *what;

42, "sneakers"
};
