How do I reference an element in my structure...?

[martindavey]

I have the following structure:-


struct _ServiceKey {
int oper;
int dist;
int site;
char route[4+1];
} **ppServiceKey, *pFirstKey;


How do I reference an element (eg. oper) in this structure?
In dbx the following works ok:-


assign (**ppServiceKey)->oper = 5
print (**ppServiceKey)->oper


In my program I have:-

(**ppServiceKey)->oper = 5;

This gives me the compiliation error:-

...left operand of "->" must be pointer to struct/union...

Apologies if I'm being stupid.

It's ok. I've figured it out - duh.

(*ppServiceKey)->oper = 5;

Yes, you are right. Suppose you are using ** then you have to put . operator to access the member, because ppServiceKey is a ** variable.

Like

(**ppServiceKey).ope = 5;
