Well struct don't have it, but i would like something like it but only for data, i don't need functions or anything like that just data.

    struct A
    {
        int valueA;
    }

    struct B
    {
        A a;
        int valueB;
    }

    struct C
    {
        B b;
        int valueC;
    }

    C c;

    c.b.a.valueA; // not elegant

    B* b = &c.b;

    b.a.valueA; // we can access A


// alternative --------------------------------------------------

    struct A
    {
        int valueA;
    }

    struct B
    {
        int valueB;
    }

    struct C
    {
        A a;
        B b;
        int valueC;
    }

    C c;

c.a.valueA; // a bit more elegant but still not very, c.valueA would be prefered

    B* b = &c.b;

b.? // can't access A, unless we do some hack that assumes B always follows A in the definition


Is there any way to do inheritance with structs, is there a reason why we can't extend structures like in C++?
