Yes, a union is useful in this situation. Specifically:

Code:
enum { TYPE_CS, TYPE_DS };

typedef struct CS {
        int type;
        int cc;
} CS;

typedef struct DS {
        int type;
        int dc;
        int dd;
} DS;

typedef union S {
        int type;
        DS ds;
        CS cs;
} S;

CS mycs={TYPE_CS, 0};
DS myds={TYPE_DS, 1, 1};

void myfunc(S *data)
{
        switch(s->type) {
        case TYPE_DS:
                s->ds.dc=0;
                s->ds.dd=0;
                break;
        case TYPE_CS:
                s->cs.cc=0;
                break;
        }
}

myfunc(&mycs);
myfunc(&myds);

Your function can tell which is which by checking the value of the type variable, then using either the ds or cs member of the union. All the members of the union overlap.
