Lvalue required

I'm not sure why I get this error...

Code:

---

typedef struct pcb {
        char name[11];
        int  pclass;
        int  priority;
} pcb;

int main() {
  pcb *new_pcb = allocate_pcb(); //allocates memory for structure

  new_pcb->pclass = 1;
  new_pcb->priority = 2;
  new_pcb->name = "newpcb1";  //error on this line : Lvalue required
}

---

how do I assign the value of name inside the structure?

You cannot assign to an array, so you should use strcpy() or strncpy().

if you mean that

Code:

---

typedef struct dcb dcb;

is incorrect - you are wrong;
you can make a dcb type synonim of the struct dcb type
