This is very poor practice. It will break if you:
- change certain compiler options
- change compiler vendors
- change CPU types (including 32-bit to 64-bit)
- use different compilers or build options on multiple machines
accessing the same database
- change the slightest thing about the definition of c_struct
This code is crying out for c_struct to be a SSQLS. Then the "how"
becomes obvious.
