To be more precise, since arr->elts is a void pointer, you have to insert a cast here. But it doesn't have to be as complex looking as asking the array structure how big each element is and explicitly multiplying. Presumably the application code knows what actualy type the data stored in the array is, and thus a cast and pointer arithmetic will do the job for you. ((foo_t *)arr->elts)[index] Or, even better: foo_t *f = arr->elts; f[index] ... --Cliff
