Q: Does C have an equivalent to Pascal's with statement?
A: No. The way in C to get quick and easy access to the fields of a structure is to declare a little local structure pointer variable (which, it must be admitted, is not quite as notationally convenient as a with statement and doesn't save quite as many keystrokes, though it is probably safer). That is, if you have something unwieldy like
structarray[complex_expression].a = structarray[complex_expression].b + structarray[complex_expression].c;you can replace it with
struct whatever *p = &structarray[complex_expression]; p->a = p->b + p->c;
