Array of pointer - needs help

[vib]

Hi there,

I am stuck with the following code. It is an array of pointers, in
ADS1.2 compiler I encounter the errors, but not on other compiler. Can
someone please shade some light, please! Frankly, I can't see anything
wrong with the code, but the compiler just refuse it as I wish.

Thanks in advance

const unsigned int *myArrayOfPtr[] =

Haha! terrible mistake of mine.

Thanks Mike

Then your other compiler is broken. Your code is seriously wrong.

Can
someone please shade some light, please!

Your '*'s are all in the wrong places.

unsigned int myvar1=1, myvar2=2;

const * unsigned int myArrayOfPtr[] = {
(* unsigned int)&myvar1,
(* unsigned int)&myvar2,
};

should be
const unsigned int *myArrayOfPtr[] = {
(unsigned int *)&myvar1,
(unsigned int *)&myvar2 /* losing the ',' also */
};

If you just *must* have those casts. But the presence of the casts
suggests that your code is misdesigned anyway. If myvar1 and and myvar2
are not unsigned ints, then you are probably asking for trouble later
on. If the are unsigned ints, then

const unsigned int *myArrayOfPtr[] = {&myvar1, &myvar2};
will do the job just fine.

And don't use tabs in usenet postings.

Hi Martin,
Thanks for the advice.
