Pass a struct to function
PostPosted: Tue Dec 21, 2004 11:50 pm     Reply with quote

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;
}



or


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