A port configuration will have the following layout:

typedef struct portcfg
{
  int type;
  ...
  union protocol_t
  {
    struct tcp_t
    {
      int port;
      ...
    } tcp;
    struct pipe_t
    {
      char *recv;
      ...
    } pipe;
  } protocol;
}
portcfg_t;

#define tcp.port protocol.tcp.port
#define pipe.recv protocol.pipe.recv

Can you live with that ?
