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.
