Pass a struct to function

Posted: Tue Dec 21, 2004 11:50 pm

Hello ... I am trying to pass a struct to a function like this

Code:

typedef struct
{
float longitude; // logitude in degree /min/ sec
float latitude; // latitude in degree / min /sec
float height; // height of the antenna in degree
BOOLEAN valid;
}raw_coord;

Code:

void get_data(raw_coord)
{
// some code here
raw_coord->longitude = 1.0;
}

and I get the following error :
previous identifier must be a pointer

I also have tried this

Code:

// normal c / c++
void get_data(raw_coord * x)
{
x->longitude = 1.0;
}

but the compiler did not like it

Is it possible to pass a struct (by reference) to a function with this compiler ?

please help ... I am getting insane

Thank you in adnvance

How about

Code:

void get_data(struct raw_coord * x)
{
x->longitude = 1.0;
}

Code:

void get_data(struct raw_coord x)
{
x.longitude = 1.0;
}
