Casting one C structure into another

by

That’s your only solution (apart from wrapping it into a function):

vector.x = acceleration.x;
vector.y = acceleration.y;
vector.z = acceleration.z;

You could actually cast it, like this (using pointers)

Vector3d *vector = (Vector3d*) &acceleration;

but this is not in the specs and therefore the behaviour depends on the compiler, runtime and the big green space monster.
