What is the main benefit of putting a single array inside a struct? When would you do it? As an example:
struct Database{
struct Address rows[MAX_ROWS];
};
Now to create a database:
struct Database* db = malloc(sizeof(struct Database));
However it could be done like this too:
struct Address* db = malloc(sizeof(struct Address) * MAX_ROWS);
I think one reason is better documentation/understanding from code (code self explanation), for example the signature foo(struct Database*) seems much better than foo(struct Address*), but is there another important reason too? Is there a general rule for when you would wrap an array within a struct?
