Malloc to void pointer fails

why does the ConvertIDToName prototype say "void * id" instead of "struct ID_t *" madness!!!
That's probably where your warning is. Don't use void * explicitly generally.
Is it really worth malloc'ing 30 bytes?
just declare a char array[30]
I don't see why 30 bytes? I mean you have GB of RAM are you saving it all for Christmas?
Will 30 bytes always be enough? 1024 may be enough if times change.
Give yourself some room for possible growth. And use powers of two, 64. 128, 256, 1024 etc.

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:

{
*pmem=(char *)malloc(size);
if(*pmem==NULL)... (11 Replies)

hi guys!
Is there such a thing as double void pointer dynamic allocation?
And if so is it something like this?
int n;
void** a;
a=malloc(n*sizeof(void*)); (12 Replies)
