typedef struct from .h and .c

tytelizgal · 10-16-2008, 06:53 PM

Hello,

Here is my problem:

I declare the vector struct in my .h file and then try to access its fields in the .c file. I did declare a variable of type vector. However, I get a compiler error saying that 'vector has no member named' [x] where x is the fields I defined in my struct. Here is my struct def in the .h file:

Code:

typedef struct {
void* elems;
int elemSize;
int logLength;
int allocLength;
} vector;

Thanks!
Liz

I'd have to see your .c code as well. Since so far, you haven't declared much of anything. Just a typedef.

I like guessing: you are using -> when the left side is not a pointer (in which case you just use .), or vice versa.
