I thought that it might be an array of pointers, but then I saw this lineCode:BYTE (*main_data)[1000];
But this line contradicts that theory. It would have to allocate 4 kb (not 1) if that was the case.Code:main_data = malloc(1000);
I never thought I'd be asking a question like this, but, what does this initilizer really do?
It's a pointer to an array. You can make it point to an array:
But I'm not sure if this works under VC++, because traditionally, due to compatibility with stupid code, VC++ interprets &ar as &ar[0] (or just ar).Code:BYTE ar[1000]; BYTE (*main_data)[1000] = &ar;
All the buzzt!
