[Dev-C++] whats wrong with this?

[Lloyd <ll...@cd...>]

Hi ,

This is a small program and its output

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;

bool call(int *a)
{
 static int x;
 ++x;
 int *temp=new int; 
 *temp=x;
 a=temp; 
 cout<<"call->"<<x<<","<<*a<<endl;
 return  true;
}

int main()
{
 int *a;
 for(int i=0;i<10;++i)
 {
  call(a);
  cout<<"val->"<<*a<<endl;
 }
 return 0;
}

Outputcall->1,1
val->0
call->2,2
val->0
call->3,3
val->0
......
...

The output which I wanted is 

Outputcall->1,1
val->1
call->2,2
val->2
call->3,3
val->3
.....
....

The modification of the pointer in the function is reflected in the
calling function. Would anybody tell me the reason for this mistake?

Thanks and Regards,
 Lloyd
