Sorry, I shouldn't have said to use a C array in this case. A struct
would be better in this case due to the different types involved.

Right.

Is 250 an arbitrary limit?

To change it to a struct (with a helper struct):
struct RGB
{
double red;
double green;
double blue;
};
struct multiple_cursor_cache
{
int x;
int fx;
int y;
int fy;
int hpos;
int vpos;
int wd;
int h;
int cursor_type;
int cursor_width;
struct RGB foreground;
struct RGB background;
bool active_p;
int glyph_flavor;
};
Then you have:
struct multiple_cursor_cache mc_cache;
and to set elements:
w->mc_cache.x = x;
w->mc_cache.foreground.red = red;
To set all elements to zero, one does:
memset (&variable, 0, sizeof (variable));
