Question

Say, I have the following struct in C#:

public struct MyStructCSharp
{
    private byte[] offsets = new byte[] { 28, 20, 27, 36 };
}

How do you do the same in C/C++?

The following doesn’t seem to work:

typedef struct _MyStructCpp
{
    _MyStructCpp()
    {
        offsets[] = {28, 20, 27, 36};
    }

private:
    unsigned char offsets[];
}MyStructCpp;

You cannot assign to an array after it has been declared. Aside from that, the syntax would be wrong. If it only ever has 4 elements then do this or just use a vector if you can.

struct MyStruct {

  MyStruct() {
    offsets[0] = 28;
    offsets[1] = 20;
    offsets[2] = 27;
    offsets[3] = 36;
  }

private:
  unsigned char offsets[4];
};

Also, do not begin your type names with an underscore. These are reserved and it could lead to nastiness.
