why should I return a structure pointer rather than the structure itself

• it's smaller
• maybe you want to modify it
• what is with your title this is simple stuff

Because passing around large structures on the stack is GAY AS FUCK.

Are you malloc()ing a new structure for the person and returning? If so an alternative method is to have them pass in a pointer to that structure then you can modify the structures contents to your heart's content, and it will be modified for the caller too.

So? All the useful programs are only available in 32-bit multilibs anyway.

By passing pointers to structures, you economize size and time, and you can implement abstract data types.

bool EXPERTPROGRAMMERFUNCTION(yourshittystruct* pStruct,int somegayflag);

that's how your function signature should look like.
any other way means you are a ''faggot''

By the way, what's going to happen to that bool without a variable name?

That's a disappointing answer.

Also, thank you for reminding me that some people don't fill that in.

I was thinking about something along these lines lately. Headers and structs make up C's strongest feature: a very mild form of self documentation. Working with dynamic languages too often involves looking at code where declarations would have been easier to track down.
