"you're trying to initialize a struct, from a pointer."
I thought with the typedef...
This would mean that the following statement would be assigning a ptr to a ptr...
Because a region_t is a ptr type...or in other words, an array of section_t* ptrs. Hence my confusion, I thought in C an array and a ptr were essentially the same things, so this would work.
Anyway I got it to work by changing the assignment to the following...
I realised that "ctn.regions[nth]" is basically an array without the subscript, which means it's a ptr. And what it points to is a ptr to a "section_t"... voila a ptr to a ptr.
And I can access the section_t* by using the subscript, i.e...
Hi everybody,
i am newbie to unix and confused with file pointers and file descripters.
could anyone help me to clear my doubts ..
when we call unix system calls to create a file then we are dealing wih file descripters
i think file descripters are also normals file as stored inhard disks... (1 Reply)

If one wants to get a start address of a array or a string or a block of memory via a function, there are at least two methods to achieve it:
(1) one is to pass a pointer-to-pointer parameter, like:
int my_malloc(int size, char **pmem)
{
*pmem=(char *)malloc(size);
if(*pmem==NULL)... (11 Replies)
if i create an array of pointers to a structure "struct node" as:

and create "n" number of "linked lists" and assign it to the various struct pointers r using some function with a return type as structure pointer as:

Hello,
The purpose of the program is to print a sub string from the prompt inputs. I do not understand why char pointer does not work but char array will for line 40 and Line 41.
./a.out thisisatest 0 8
substring = "thisisat"And my code is:
#include <stdio.h>

Here are two programs that pass a pointer to a variable but behave differently. Shouldnt the i in second program be 0 after the function call?
#include<stdio.h>
void changeI(int *i)
{
*i = 10;
}
int main(void)
{
int i=5;
printf("%d before\n", i);
changeI(&i);

Hi Friends,
I have a host(Suse Linux 10.4) which has 2 luns presented from 2 different arrays HP eva and xp. we are planning to migrate hp eva to 3par. When i look for physical volume i see /dev/dm-4, /dev/dm-5, /dev/dm-7and when i look for multipath -ll i see dm-8,dm-9,dm-7. So i can't confirm... (6 Replies)
I am struggling with the pointer to 2D-array (cf: 2D array of pointers). Can anybody help me elaborate how the pointer x moves in the memory to access the individual of y, especially the high lighted lines?
I have talked to one of the curators of the forum, but I am still not quite clear.
Here... (1 Reply)

atomic_dec, atomic_dec_32, atomic_dec_uint, atomic_dec_ulong, atomic_dec_ptr, atomic_dec_64, atomic_dec_32_nv, atomic_dec_uint_nv,
atomic_dec_ulong_nv, atomic_dec_ptr_nv, atomic_dec_64_nv -- atomic decrement operations
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/atomic.h>

uint64_t
atomic_dec_64_nv(volatile uint64_t *ptr);
DESCRIPTION
The atomic_dec family of functions decrement (by one) the variable referenced by ptr in an atomic fashion.
The *_nv() variants of these functions return the new value.
The 64-bit variants of these functions are available only on platforms that can support atomic 64-bit memory access. Applications can check
for the availability of 64-bit atomic memory operations by testing if the pre-processor macro __HAVE_ATOMIC64_OPS is defined.
SEE ALSO atomic_ops(3)HISTORY
The atomic_dec functions first appeared in NetBSD 5.0.
