Ok, this is an easy question...but it's annoying me,
How do i pass by reference? i want to pass a pointer to a struct into a
function, have the function modify the pointer to point somewhere else, and
pass back the new pointer:
mystruct *pointer, *head;
void Modify (mystruct *input)
{
Modify_the_pointer; /* i'm dealing with a linked list, so lets say i
want it to point to the next
one and return
the address of that element */
input = new_location_in_list;
}
void main (void)
{
malloc head;
assign some data;
make pointer point to head
modify (pointer)
/* pointer now wants to point to next one */
}
i've tried doing that but get errors about passing incompatible pointer
types and making pointers from integers without casting.
