Memory Allocation To a Structure

Dear Experts
I have the following Structure

Code:

typedef struct wf_list_workunit_fe  

                {

                                short int nbr_Workunits_fe;

                                [size_is(nbr_Workunits_fe)] WF_STRUCT_WORKUNIT_FE  lst_Workunit_fe[*];

                } WF_LIST_WORKUNIT_FE;

and 

typedef [ptr] WF_LIST_WORKUNIT_FE * WF_LIST_WORKUNIT_P_FE;

and Now Im doing this 

WF_LIST_WORKUNIT_FE listWU;

memset((void*)&listWU, '\0' , sizeof(WF_LIST_WORKUNIT_FE));

WF_LIST_WORKUNIT_P_FE ptrlistWU ;

ptrlistWU = &listWU;

Is this correct ?

Re: Memory Allocation To a Structure

There are 2 ways to say if its correct or not.

1. Syntactically
2. Semantically

For testing point 1 you should allow the compiler to say if its compiling.

For Semantically correction we need to know what you are trying to do as well.

Re: Memory Allocation To a Structure

Hi Shabbir
Thanks for the reply ..
WF_LIST_WORKUNIT_FE array of structure is sent as an OUT param in one of the RPC..
Im allocating a memory for it to store all the member varibles of WF_LIST_WORKUNIT_FE in local variables

for (int i = 0; i < ptrlistWU->nbr_Workunits_fe; i++)
{
retObj->workunitArray->lstWorkunit->wfStructWu.push_back(conObj.WFWuStructDceToSoap(p trlistWU->lst_Workunit_fe[i]));
}
where lstWorkunit is the local object and I have ptrlistWU->lst_Workunit_fe[i]) that is passed to WFWuStructDceToSoap method ...
