silence warning when assigning pointers

Although my code works, I'm getting a warning I don't know how to supress.

I'm assigning a multi dimensional array of type CHAR** to one of type LPCTSTR*

I assumed this was ok as all pointers are 32bit in Windows.

Here is the code causing me problems

Code:

---

BOOL Start(INT ArgCount, TCHAR **Args)
{
    SC_HANDLE hSc;
    LPCTSTR ServiceName = *Args++;
    LPCTSTR *ServiceArgs = Args;  // error relates to this line

...

warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type

How do I correct this?

Thanks.

Use a compatible pointer type. :D


Quzah.

I can't, it needs to be converted somewhere along the line.


The TCHAR traces back to a return from one function, and it needs to be used in another as LPCTSTR.

This must be a failry common occurance.

Only in Windows where Microsoft bastardizes everything including C.

Anyway, have you tried typecasting?

Code:

---

LPCTSTR *ServiceArgs = (LPCTSTR *)Args;

---

That should supress the error without making the whole situation any more "correct".

Doh, I was casting with

Code:

---

LPCTSTR *ServiceArgs = (LPCTSTR)Args;

forgetting it was a MD pointer.

Stupid mistake.

Thanks.

That's really bad when you're using that hungarian notation thing which was invented to avoid such blunders ;)
