Please can you help me with a lint error message? After calling Lint I got the following DOS-Box error message c:\tool\lclint32\v2_5q\BIN\lclint -f mkpjlint.tmp xxx.c LCLint 2.5q --- 26 July 2000 xxx.c: (in function dobj_UpdateVO) xxx.c(26,8): Passed storage tmp_erg contains 2 undefined fields: a, b Storage derivable from a parameter, return value or global is not defined. Use /*@out@*/ to denote passed or returned storage which need not be defined. (-compdef will suppress message) Finished LCLint checking --- 1 code error found The file mkpjlint.tmp is: +charint +partial -booltype bool_T -macrovarprefixexclude -structimponly -larchpath c:\tool\lclint32\v2_5q\LIB +Ic:\tool\cos_hc12\v4_2t\h6812 The sourcefile xxx.c is: struct dobj_lsp_S { int a; int b; }; struct dobj_lsp_S var1 = {1,2}; void dobj_UpdateHI(void); void dobj_UpdateVO(void); void f2(struct dobj_lsp_S * x); void dobj_UpdateHI(void) { struct dobj_lsp_S tmp_erg; tmp_erg.a = 1; tmp_erg.b = 2; f2(&tmp_erg); } void dobj_UpdateVO(void) { struct dobj_lsp_S tmp_erg; tmp_erg = var1; f2(&tmp_erg); } void f2(struct dobj_lsp_S * x) { x->a++; } I think Lint does not recognize that "tmp_erg = var1" initialize the structur! It would be greate if I get an aswert to my problem. Thanks in advance, best regard Klaus Hoffsommer
