Emulating public and private in C structs

Consider:
foo.h:
struct Foo {
        int public_1;
        int public_2;
}
struct Foo * create_Foo ();
void bar_Foo (struct Foo*);
/* etc */
foo.c:
#include "foo.h"
struct Foo_private {
        struct Foo foo; /* ??? */
        int private_1;
        int private_2;
}
struct Foo * create_Foo (void) {
        return malloc (sizeof(Foo_private));
}
void bar_Foo (struct Foo *foo) {
        Foo_private *foo_p = (Foo_private*) foo; /* ??? */
        /* do whatever with foo_p->private_1 and foo_p->private_2 */
}
Is there anything wrong with this? I'm dubious about the lines commented with ???. I don't want to write getters and setters for the 'public' stuff.

Secure against what? I can't think of any use for checking for encapsulation violations that at runtime if the language itself doesn't allow them. What justifies the added complexity and performance penalty? Looks like the effort would be better spent on securing the OS itself than the VM that's running on it.
