## Detailed Description

Describes the struct by listing its size, members and operations.

This is the root of Eina_Value knowledge about the memory it's handling as a structure. It adds introspection, saying the byte size of the structure, its members and how to manage such members.

Since
  1.2

Examples:
  complex-types-client-eina-value.c, and eina_value_02.c.

## Field Documentation

## ◆ ops

const Eina_Value_Struct_Operations* _Eina_Value_Struct_Desc::ops

operations, if `NULL` defaults will be used.

You may use operations to optimize member lookup using binary search or gperf hash.

## ◆ members

const Eina_Value_Struct_Member* _Eina_Value_Struct_Desc::members

array of member descriptions, if `member_count` is zero, then it must be `NULL` terminated.

## ◆ member_count

unsigned int _Eina_Value_Struct_Desc::member_count

if > 0, specifies number of members.

If zero then `members` must be NULL terminated.
