Ok, what you called "type" is the name of a member of the foo and bar
structs,
right?

if foo and bar only contains a members of a single type, then you can
use a
associative array for that. (std::map and std:multimap are
implementations of associative array's in the c++ standart library.)

Where do you need that functionality?

Thats not possible with C or C++, they are to static for this.

Hmm, I think there is a way to archive part of what you want with
templates. But maybe its easier to find another solution.
