Accessing parallel port in (Dev-)C++

[Nobody/Anonymous]

Hi,

I've tried something like:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
    unsigned long address;
    unsigned long *paddress;
   
    address=0x00000378;   
    paddress=(unsigned long int  *)address;         
    printf("Data=%Xh\n",*paddress);
   
    return 0;
}

But windows gives a illegal operation error in the created executable when I run it. I guess Win doesn't allow acces to this kind of adresses...or am I doing something horibbly wrong here. Please help me out.

Try this:

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
  unsigned long address;
  unsigned long *paddress;

  address=0x00000378;
  paddress=&address;
  printf("Data=%Xh\n",*paddress);
  return 0;
}
