Hi All
I tried to construct an array of structs, but it doesn't compile
I guess I do something fundamentally wrong here! Any suggestions ?Code:#include <stddef.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <regex.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <string.h> struct Abc { int *x ; } *st ; int main(void) { st = malloc( 2 * sizeof(*st) ) ; st[0] = (struct Abc*)malloc(sizeof(struct Abc) ) ; st[1] = (struct Abc*)malloc(sizeof(struct Abc) ) ; }
thnx

Try this.
That creates an array of arrays with an Abc**.Code:#include <stddef.h> #include <stdlib.h> struct Abc { int *x ; } ; int main(void) { struct Abc **st = malloc( 2 * sizeof(*st) ) ; st[0] = (struct Abc*)malloc(sizeof(**st) ) ; st[1] = (struct Abc*)malloc(sizeof(**st) ) ; return 0; }
You can also do this.
Then st[0] is one element, and st[1] is another element. It's just that I've created an array of structures, not an array of pointers to dynamically allocated structures.Code:#include <stddef.h> #include <stdlib.h> struct Abc { int *x ; } ; int main(void) { struct Abc *st = malloc( 2 * sizeof(*st) ) ; return 0; }

wow, thats fast, thanks a lot! I guess I still have to get used to pointers to pointers!
