Hi everyone!
I need an array inside structure, something like this:
but the way, that it doesnt give me pointer, but leaves 16 bytes free space inside structure. In asm i would do like this to get that result:Code:struct mystruct { char array[16]; }
How do I do it in C?Code:MYSTRUCT: .... times 16 db ? ..... END_MYSTRUCT:
If you want a member pointer, then define the struct to have a member pointer, e.g.,
But if as you say you want an array, then you have an array, so don't complain "that it doesnt give me pointer" because you got what you asked for.Code:struct mystruct { char *array; };

That is the point, i dont need pointer, i need it to reserve 16 bytes inside structure.
something like this:
Code:struct mystruct { char 0; char 1; ... char 14; char 15; }

Then what's wrong with the member array?

An array is NOT A POINTER!
