As I recalled, the ability to HAVE dynamic pointers was one of the
primary benefits of using c in the first place! Later in the file I
have this routine which allocates space for each pointer in the
structure:
alloc_space(r) RECORD *r;
{ register size_t i;
register char **v;
for(i=0; i<r->n; i++)
{ if(r->data[i].len == 0 || r->data[i].len == 0xFFFF) continue;
v = (r->data[i].var);
if (*v == NULL)
{ *v = (char *) calloc(1,r->data[i].len + 1);
memset(*v,'A'+i,r->data[i].len);
}
}
}
I guess i just don't understand why a "modern" compiler wants to
restrict my options in this fashion....
