Thread: Error : incompatible types with structure

Hello,

I am trying to build a data structure that consists of a single linked list (node_t).

That for each entry in the list contains a key and a record structure (record_t) which is also a linked list.

So conceptually:
- Item 1
- Record 1
- Record 2
- Item 2
- Record 1
- Record 2
- Record 3

and so on.

The print_list function is supposed to read through all the records in the data structure and display them.

Read through the items - while statement - commencing line 28

Read through the records - while statement - commencing line 36

but I get a build error on line 41, which is meant to advance to the next record (if it exists)

Code:

current->record = current->record.next;

Code:

|41|error: incompatible types when assigning to type ‘record_t’ from type ‘struct record *’|

I don't understand what the compiler is trying to tell me here.

Thanks

VW
