Convert char array of C into string of C++ -

i need convert char array of c string c++ char array element of struct.

code:

this structure in c

typedef struct mystruct {     char name[50];     char abc[50];     esl_bool status; }mystruct; 

and want access name[50] in c++ have convert string. have tried strcpy , memcpy. using esl_bool status; , working confused name[50].

the first thing should change in class name in struct because cause problems because keyword in c++.

then converting c string c++ one, can use std::string constructor accepts c-style strings.

std::string mycppstring(mystruct.name);
