I have different structures that need to be filled out the same way. The only difference is that they are filled based on different data.

I was wondering if it's possible to pass different structures to a certain function. What I have in mind is something like:

struct stu1 {
    char *a;
    int  b;
};

struct stu2 {
    char *a;
    int  b;
};

static struct not_sure **some_func(struct not_sure *not_sure_here, original_content_list)
{
        // do something and return passed struct
        for(i=0; i<size_of_original_content_list; i++){
           //fill out passed structure
        }
    return the_struct; 
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) 
{
        return_struct1 = some_func(stu1);
        return_struct2 = some_func(stu2);
        // do something separate with each return struct...
}

Any comments will be appreciate it.
