Reference to a Structure

Hello,

how do I reference a array to a structure, in a way when I change the value of that array I also affect the value of the structure, and when I affect the value of the structure I also affect the value of the array ?

I tryed to do something with pointer to the structure, since a pointer to a structure is very similar to array. I have done something like this :

Code:

typedef structu
{
   unsigned a1:1;
   unsigned a2:1;
   unsigned a3:1;
   .
   .
   .
   unsigned a8:1;
}Bits;

int main()
{
   Coils objCoil;
   Coils *ptrCoil;
   ptrCoil = & objCoil;

   for(int i = 0; i < 8; i++)
   {
       ptrCoil[i] = 1;
   }

}

Thanks and best regards,
BoSCHoW.
