A89: Storing pointers to functions in allocated memory...
Okay. When I compile my program, I get the following error on the third line
"Invalid lvalue in assignment", and I can't see why it won't work. I've tried
different methods, and some compiled but crashed the calc (at least I _THINK_
it was this line that crashed it, because this is the only line that messes
with pointers...). This is my latest variation which I _think_ is the closest
to being correct. I know I somehow need to dereference it at least once, but
that simply causes more errors (can't dereference a void pointer).
old_hook_handle is of type HANDLE and old_hook is of type EVENT_HANDLER. If
the code isn't clear, I'm trying to take the pointer to a function which is
stored in EV_hook and store that pointer to memory that I allocated.
//<code>
old_hook=EV_hook;
old_hook_handle=HeapAlloc(8); //8 bytes should be 4 bytes
//more than I need, but just
//to be sure...
(void *)((void *)HeapDeref(old_hook_handle))=old_hook; //add a * between
//the two void casts
//to dereference the
//first (innermost) pointer
//</code>
It's probably just some stupid mistake I made (I've been programming for
around 6 hours straight today and am in desperate need of some sleep :) ),
but thanks for any help anyone can give me.
