There seems to be hardly any examples to be found about calling C from Julia (perhaps because people feel no need to do so). Moreover the docs are, at least to me, quite cryptic. So if anyone wants to get started here is a minimal example.

Julia Code:

type mystruct                                                                                                                                                                                                      
        n::Int32                                                                                                                                                                                                   
end 

C Code:

struct mystruct{
	int n;
};
void structure(struct mystruct * input);
void sructure(struct mystruct * input){
	(*input).n=99;
}

Compilation:
gcc -fPIC -shared rosetta.c -o rosetta.so

Execution:
julia> test=mystruct(10)
mystruct(10)

julia> test
mystruct(99)
