Thread: reference elements in a typedef array?

Hello,

I'm trying to reference the elements of an array that is based on a typedef but not sure how to do it. VC is treating the index as the entire size of the array. For example:

Code:

typedef struct Struct1 {
  int var1;
  int var2;
} Struct1Type;

typedef Struct1Type ArrayOfStruct1Type[8];

typedef struct Struct2 {
  int var3;
  ArrayOfStruct1Type var4;
} Struct2Type;

Struct2Type vars2;
ArrayOfStruct1Type *arr=&vars2.var4;

for (int i=0;i<8;i++) {
  int xy=arr[i]->var1;  // <<<<< doesn't work
}

How to I reference the elements in the array????

Try this

Code:

int xy=arr[i].var1;

Code:

    Struct1Type *arr = vars2.var4;

Also, the access should be like this:

Code:

   int xy=arr[i].var1;

Yep, Thanks.
