quick pointer question

**deepcode** · 05-10-2011

i have a struct:

Code:

struct item {
    type *ptype;
};

and a pointer to a pointer that points to that struct.

Code:

struct item **pstruct;

and i need to pass the address of ptype to a function, would this be the right way to do it:

Code:

function ( (*pstruct)->&ptype );

In my C book, -> is higher up on the precedent table, so maybe I'd have to use

Code:

function ( (*pstruct)->(&ptype) );

O_o

If this

Code:

(*pstruct)->ptype

is the data, this

Code:

&((*pstruct)->ptype)

is its address.
