Nit: you should copy/paste the EXACT code. The above does not make sense.
(warning: useless storage class specifier in empty declaration)
I think you meant:
typedef struct { char *name; int kind; int value; } SomeStruct;
which defines an anonymous struct, and defines "SomeStruct"
as a synonym. (AFAIU, this is done "automatically" in C++)

If the size of the array is not known at compile-time, then you
need dynamic memory allocation.
In C, you could write:
#include <stdlib.h>
typedef struct { char *name; int kind; int value; } SomeStruct;
static SomeStruct *array;
void array_init(int n, char **name, int *kind, int *value)
{
int i;
array = malloc(n * sizeof *array);
for (i = 0; i < n; ++i)
{
SomeStruct temp = { name[i], kind[i], value[i] };
array[i] = temp;
}
}
In C++, they use new and new[] instead of malloc.
