i seem to be getting expression syntax error when I try
datatype* var = ( datatype ) ptr;
the memory pointer is breing created fine. I just cant seem to use it for
my variable??
also, once I have var, how do I set it with some data?
can I just say:
var = {"some stuff","some more stuff","last stuff"};
if my datatype is
typedef struct{
char stuff1[20];
char stuff2[20];
char stuff3[20];
}datatype;
