Function my_create() takes an argument of 'struct socket **s'. I'm trying to pass in the 'struct socket *skt' member of 'struct sA' into function my_create().
Can anyone help out here. I'm pretty sure I dont' have this correct.
Code:struct sA { struct socket *skt; }; struct sA a; my_create(struct socket **s); int main() { ... my_create(&a->skt); // i don't think this is correct ... }
Code:my_create(&a.skt);
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
That gives me the following error when I try to compile it.
Code:error: request for member 'skt' in something not a structure or union
Then a must be a pointer, and not a struct, as you originally posted.
Post what you tried, not something paraphrased from memory.Code:$ cat bar.c #include<stdio.h> struct socket { int a; }; struct sA { struct socket *skt; }; struct sA a; void my_create(struct socket **s); int main() { my_create(&a.skt); // i don't think this is correct } $ gcc -c bar.c

This looks like it should work to me - passing in the address of the pointer (a pointer to a pointer **).
