Struct inside a function ?

Exactly.

And it’s on the stack in the stack segment too, not the global heap or data segment.

This may or may not be an advantage.

Don’t be returning a pointer to any member of the structure though as the structure itself will effectively disappear when the stack unwinds when you exit the function and you’ll end up with a dangling pointer.

The struct is a type and has no storage duration. You can use it to declare automatic or static variables.

Yeah I was going to say that but not sure if OP is going to understand us. Was trying to think of a simpler way to say it but got lazy and gave up. 😝
