Passing structs around is not good practice, as they tend to be rather big (or can get to be so), and cause problems, so stick with passing addresses.
>>cInv->pList[cInv->curSize] = (Car *)malloc(sizeof(Car));
Here you malloc()'d memory to hold the structure. All you need do now is put the structure in it.
>>cInv->pList[cInv->curSize] = aCar;
Here you've goofed, because you're overwritten your pointer to your malloc()'d memory with another pointer. Now you can't free the memory you malloc()'d.
So, to fix it:
Change:
>>cInv->pList[cInv->curSize] = aCar;
To :
>>*(cInv->pList[cInv->curSize]) = *aCar;
I think the syntax is correct, it's late and I could be wrong!
Basically you can copy structs by direct assignment.
When all else fails, read the instructions.
If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]
it works!!! thank u so much. i was trying to figure this out for the last 6 hrs. shows how dumb i am. :-) thanx again!
