[julia-users] Native Julia types for C structs - how to handle vectors

[Tim Wheeler]

Hello Julia Users,

I have been using Julia's `ccall` interface and was wondering how to handle 
C structs containing fixed-length arrays:

typedef struct
{
    uint8 x; // this is fine
    uint8 y[2]; // this will cause issues
} MY_STRUCT;


My current conversion is:

type MY_STRUCT
    x::Uint8 // this is fine
    y::(Uint8,Uint8) // this will cause issues
end

I can create `read` and `write` functions but also have to overwrite 
`sizeof` because the tuple appears to be stored as a pointer instead of 
being stored `flat`.
Is there a better suggestion for how to store a fixed-length array?

Thanks!
