I admit that I don't know all of the arcane details of C. (How can I
bother when I regularly have to program in 5 or 6 different languages,
out of about 15 or so I use occaisionally?)
However, this:
> MyIrEvent *MyIrEvt; // I have also tried _MyIrEvent *MyIrEvt
> static void DoIR(MyIRC, MyIrEvt) {
looks bad.
Why not use:
static void DoIR(SomeType MyIRC, MyIrEvent *MyIrEvt) {
Then, the compiler should know that MyIrEvt is a pointer to a MyIrEvent
structure. If you don't specify a type, I believe that C defaults to
using int, and since an int isn't a pointer, you get the "pointer/array
required" error when you refer to MyIrEvt->IrEvt.
