C to C++ arrays and back again

[bnbertha]

I've got a large library written in C that I'm writing C++ around.
I've got a static C array defined in a header file

#define REG_TABLE  {{0x9C, 0xA1}, \
                     {0xBA, 0xFD}, \
                     {0x7C, 0x2B}, \
                     {0x6C, 0xe6}, \
                     {0x6d, 0x01}} 

and I want to put it into

typedef struct
{
       Uint8T reg; /// register affected
       Uint8T val; /// value to set
}reg_t;

reg_t *tbl = new reg_t[REG_TABLE_SZ];

Uint8T is an unsigned char

I know I can declare a C style array to do it

reg_t reg_table[REG_TABLE_SZ] = REG_TABLE;

Anyone got any bright ideas for doing it into a C++ array without a loop or memcpy()?

This will eventually be passed to a C library function.
