why dosn't this work

[Naytheyus]

i tried using the following

ex

struct tNewStruct{
int a;
int b;
int c;
}NewStruct, *ptrNewStruct;

NewStruct tTempStruct;
NewStruct *ptrTempStruct;

GotoThisCall((ptrTempStruct)&tTempStruct) <-invalid operands to binary &

void GotoThisCall(ptrNewStruct NewStruct)
{
....;
}

in all the book i have on C use this example (in they're own way) but why am i getting this error
do i need to set something or add a lib to the compiler?

books C for Dummies
Teach Yourself C
& some on-line docs

thanx for any help

Umm, not sure if I'll be any help here, as I've been learning C++, but I do have a question for you:

Maybe it changed in C++, or maybe I'm looking at it wrong, but your structure's name is: tNewStruct
and you made an object to it called: NewStruct.

Now, under your structure, it looks like you are using the object to make another object, and a pointer:

NewStruct tTempStruct;
NewStruct *ptrTempStruct;

Now, if that's indeed what you are doing, then shouldn't it be:

tNewStruct tTempStruct;
tNewStruct *ptrTempStruct;

You make objects to your class, not other objects.

If this helps... Hooray!

If not, sorry... I tried sniff :( ( lol )

Good luck,
