Is this C structure assignment statement legal? -

-

here code example followed question:

#include <stdio.h> #include <string.h>  struct st {      char stringfield[100];     int intfield; };  typedef struct st st;  void test(st *parameterstruct) {     st localstruct;     strcpy(localstruct.stringfield, "hello");     localstruct.intfield = 5;      *parameterstruct = localstruct; }  int main() {     st mystruct;     strcpy( mystruct.stringfield, "xxx" );     mystruct.intfield = 9;      printf("%s,%i\n", mystruct.stringfield, mystruct.intfield );      test(&mystruct);      printf("%s,%i\n", mystruct.stringfield, mystruct.intfield);      return 0; }

output:

xxx,9 hello,5

i thinking since structure 'localstruct' created inside function (not using malloc) had local scope , memory locations stored free overridden once function stopped executing. however, tried running sample program , executed no issues. thinking second print statement going print gibberish screen since assigned 'mystruct' local variable 'localstruct' (versus 'localstruct' being dynamically allocated). know if 'localstruct' had been created using malloc there no such issues.

my question: assigning structure variable 'mystruct' (a non dynamic local variable) y use of pointer in function test okay , safe do? hope question clear.

assignment copies.

if did *x = &y (assuming types matched - if parameter declared st** x, example), copying address of y, since y go out of scope soon, assignment unsafe, feared.

but since you're doing *x = y instead (where parameter declared st* x), copying content of y *x, after y goes out of scope, data stored in *x should valid.

(does not affect jpicker) 2: $.jpicker.list[0].color.active.val('hex', '', this); //set color black , input value 000000, instead of empty string 3: $.jpicker.list[0].color.active.val(null, '', this); //does nothing none of 3 methods seems behave properly. in advance. this works me :) $.jpicker.list[0].color.active.val('v', null); here example: http://jsfiddle.net/3up7n/
