Operator overloading in C?

Is it possible to do operator overloading or something similar (inline function?) in C? I know that c does not support class, but could I make an operator for a struct?

I cannot find anything about this online, because Google will ignore '+' so if I try to google this I only get C++ results.

C++ introduced an important and interesting feature which is operator overloading.

So you will have to use it if you want to use this feature.

No it is not possible.

By the way, you can remove C++ from google search results if you add -"C++" to your search query.

C does not support operator overloading or having functions inside structs. You will need to use C++ for those features.

No, you can't do that in C. Use C++ if you want to overload operators.

You can put function pointers inside a structure if you want a sort of C++ object-like behaviour.
