I have done this kind of thing now and then, and I believe that it's
legal C.  I have not yet discovered a compiler that complains about this:

struct point {
    int x, y;
} p1, p2;

struct rect {
    int x1, y1, x2, y2;
} r;

alpha()
{
    * (struct point *) &r.x1 = p1;
    * (struct point *) &r.x2 = p2;
}
