Five, you're not a bother at all, plus it's your own thread .
Four, there are no stupid questions, only stupid people.

Three, there are many ways and methods to manage your objects, and sometimes you just need to try something and see if it works out. I'd say that writing a function such as you propose may be quite a good idea, but it depends on how you wrote, and intend to write your program design. At least it's a great learning course to try this . Nothing to lose

Two, I strongly advise you not to do so. Not only will it reset after an update, you might mess up the internal code and cause untraceable bugs. You'll break your head and never solve the issue. It gets even more terrible when you forgot you adapted atypes.h and start a new project, which fails too.

One...

Lift off!
