hi there,
ok lets say ive got a class ''thing'' like so
class thing
{
public:
int number;
};
and i declare an object based on this class called item.
ok then here we go. If i have a function that takes the address
of an int as a paremeter such as
void doSomething(int *x)
and i wanted to pass the number from my item object id do
doSomething(&item.number).
If i had a pointer lpThing that pointed to my object item such as:
thing *lpThing;
lpThing =&item
then to use it with the function id do this:
doSomething(&lpThing->number);
but what if i had a pointer to a pointer of type thing
i.e.
thing **lplpThing;
*lplpThing = &item
to access the number id dereference like so
*lplpThing->number = 5;
but how do i pass the address of the number element in my item object
i.e
doSomething( &(*lplpThing)->number );
this is bad syntax
anyone know... i bet its something trivial liek brackets.
thanks
