C - Returning a struct

//you may need to try using typedef
typedef struct
{

}MY_STRUCT;

//once done you pass it as any pointer
MY_STRUCT *FUNCTION(MY_STRUCT *Example)
{
}

Remember though that Example is a pointer, so changes occuring in the function change data at that memory address, this modifys the struct you actually passed in. This means you might not need to return a struct. If you are returning a struct you might need to consider using "new/delete" or "malloc/free" so that the memory is still valid after the function has been called.

I am uncertain if you are having trouble with C or gcc compiler so sorry if this post is not what you wanted.

That answered my question, thanks.
