Error while trying to update array element
c,arrays,pointers,struct,typedef
In function CM_Init, you are setting cmPacket.Data to point to a local array: uint8_t emptyBuffer[CM_MAX_DATA_SIZE] = {0x00}; cmPacket.Data = emptyBuffer; Accessing this memory address outside the scope of the function yields undefined behavior....
Adding elements to Struct Array
c,arrays,multidimensional-array,struct
Each currentGeneration is a pointer to a Generation. Yet when you declare an array Generation generations[MAX_GENERATIONS] it expects each index to be a Generation, not a pointer to one. But when you declare the array as Generation *generations[MAX_GENERATIONS] it expects each index to be a pointer to a Generation, which...
C: Make generic iteration function?
It's possible, but the proposed API isn't very nice. You're going to have to put iteration state somewhere, and you're not leaving any room for that. I would propose something like: struct DgIter { struct Dg *dg; size_t index; size_t dataSet; }; Then you can have functions like: struct DgIter...

type-conversion in one function in C
c,function,struct,type-conversion,typedef
There is no defined behavior for casting a structure to any pointer type. Very likely your compiler would reject such a cast, but if it accepted it then the resulting behavior is unlikely to be useful. Moreover, you cannot pass a type (i.e. whatever) as a function argument. You could...

The reason you get EXC BAD ACCESS is because you never actually allocate memory for info. In your struct nodo you have info defined to be a pointer to a character, but you never have any memory allocated for it. Depending on how big your input could be you could...
C++ reading a file into a struct
This happens because the >> operator for the input stream only grabs part of a line, and does not always grab the newline character at the end of the line. When followed by a call to getline, the getline will grab the rest of the line previously parsed, not the...

Use base struct as function argument in inheritance scenario
The struct you see in the debugger is empty because when you enter Function1 the debugger 'forgets' any info about cs1 and knows just about baseStruct (which is empty). If you do something like childStruct *cs1 = reinterpret_cast<childStruct1>(&structVal) ; yoy should see everything there. But this takes to the real...
How to pass pointer to struct to a function?
Inside your doStuff() function, myCoords is already a pointer. You can simply pass that pointer itself to calculateCoords() and calculateMotorSpeeds() function. Also, with a function prototype like void calculateCoords(struct coords* myCoords) calling calculateCoords(&myCoords); from doStuff() is wrong, as it is passing struct coords**. Solution: Keep your function signature for calculateCoords()...
C++ Struct is compiled into class?
In C++ the notion of the class is defined the following way class-specifier: class-head { member-specificationopt} where class-head in turn is defined like class-head: class-key attribute-specifier-seqopt class-head-name class-virt-specifieropt base-clauseopt class-key attribute-specifier-seqopt base-clauseopt where class-key: class struct union Thus a structure is class with class-key struct.

sending the length of the buffer and receive it with C from python
This: int buf_len = *buf; will not magically read sizeof buf_len (you seem to expect it to be four) bytes from buf, since *buf is a value of type char. You should use uint8_t rather than char, and uint32_t rather than int, and read as many as you need, respecting...
Byte array to struct
The problem is at this line: byte[] stringBytes = GetBytes(text); How are you converting the string to a byte array? You are probably using a Unicode encoding, which will store each character as two bytes, and because your string is in the ASCII set, every other byte will be zero:...
How to override C compiler aligning word-sized variable in struct to word boundary

Add more fieldnames to an existing struct
Though there is likely a more efficient method, the first thing that comes to mind would be utilizing dynamic field names: handles = struct('a',1,'b',2,'c',3); cell1 = {'d','e','f'}; cell2 = {4,5,6}; for ii = 1:length(cell1) handles.(cell1{ii}) = cell2{ii}; end Which returns: handles = a: 1 b: 2 c: 3 d: 4...

There are at least two problems with your code: one serious, one in terms of naming. In the function struct node join_nodes(struct node no1, struct node no2) no1 and no2 are passed by value. They are temporary objects, for all practical purposes. So the lines aux.right = &no1; aux.left =...
Reading a shader from a .txt file using a structure
You're using a mix of C++ (std::string) and C (char*) strings in an invalid way. In the constructor, you're building up the code in a C++ string, which is an object that automatically allocates and re-allocates the memory to hold the string data as the string grows. It will also...

In your example you are trying to pass the struct itself to the function rather than an instance of the struct. When I ran your code it wouldn't compile. I agree with the comments above though, this would be much better handled by making sure each struct satisfies the fmt.Stringer...

What all operators can be defined inside a struct in C++? [duplicate]

Array index in C is 0 based. For an array with 50 bytes of memory allocated, char name[50]; trying to use [50] as index is off-by-one and invokes undefined behaviour. That said, newPerson->name[50] = *nameInputPtr; is not the way you copy a string. You need to make use of strcpy(),...
How to simple assign vectors of different structs?
The problem is that your operator= only works on individual elements, not on whole vectors. You need to define a constructor that converts an A into a B.

If I add methods to this struct, probably the internal structure will be changed.

Accessing struct from double pointer
Yes, head is a pointer to the pointer of your head node. So you can access ->prev by doing: (*head)->prev = newNode; Without the parentheses, the operator precedence rules of C parse your statement as *(head->prev) = newNode; which is not what you want....

Scoping rules for struct variables in GCC
As others mentioned, you're reading an uninitialized local variable and that's undefined. So, anything is legit.

Having two structs refer to each other's variables in C++
First, forward declare one of the structs and fully declare the other.

Potential issues with p* in structs?
