You might get some mileage out of the @encode() directive.  It 
produces a c-string encoding of a c type, which (with significant 
effort) can be parsed in order to traverse a c structure of that 
type.  These encodings do not contain the field names of structures, 
but they often contain structure tag names...

More information is available in the section "Type Encodings" of
The Objective-C 2.0 Programming Language
