So I have this function that takes a pointer to a struct as one of its arguments. Everything works like a charm. The problem is as folows:
The struct that gets its reference passed to the named function values are only initiated for a short time (or only in one funktion), the struct itselft is global so that shouldnt be a problem.
Anyone got any pointers (pun intended)?
Yes, show some code that will illustrate what you are trying to do
Ok, here goes, IŽll post a shorter version of quasi code. The real version is a bit to big.
Code:typedef struct thing { char foo[50]; char bar[50]; } struct test thething; insert_values_into_thing(struct *thingie) { strcpy(thingie->foo, "ksksk"); .. } int main windowsfunction { insert_values_into_thing(&thething); } BOOL CALLBACK windowcallbackfunc(..) { /*This is where the problem lies, even if thing (that is global) has values earlier in the execution here its totaly blank, and the following message box displays absolutely nada.*/ MessageBox(NULL,thing.foo,...); } do_something_with_thing(struct *thing ) { .. }
I hope that made any sense
Ok try to reproduce the error in a short program and then post it. Honestly without seeing the actual code its a crap shoot of what the problem is.
Of course one question is why is it global if you are going to be passing it around via parameters.
Lol, found the problem. Wasnt some thing about structs that I hadnt heard about. Just me overwriting it due to it being global. He. Sorry to waste your time. Thanks for your help though.
