It's certainly possible to cast the object as a void* and insert it as a
blob. That's really somewhat less than desirable though. You might be
happier if you check out http://www.ceamus.com/objbuilder/ which will
create data objects in the Active Record pattern. Currently it generates
C++ objects, but it's a fairly simple matter to convert it to generating C
functions and data structures.
