incompatible types in assignment?

kardon33

I am getting a "error: incompatible types in assignment" error and cant figure out why? I am trying to set lastRow to row at the end of the code snippet.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
    int row[height][3];

    int lastRow[height][3];
 
    size_t rowIdx, idx = 0;

    int cRow = startX;

    for (idx = startX ; idx < height*width; idx += width)

    {

      cRow = (idx/width);
 
      row[cRow][0] = redImg.data[idx]; 

      row[cRow][1] = greenImg.data[idx] ;    

      row[cRow][2] = blueImg.data[idx]; 
 
    }
 
    lastRow = row;

C/C++ does not support arithmetic operations on arrays including copying.

If this is C then use memcpy.

If this is C++ you should be using vectors not arrays (which do support copying).

Another approach would be to have two generically named arrays plus two pointer-to-array variables called row and lastRow. Instead of copying the row array you could swap the pointer values.

However, working with a pointer to a two-dimensional array can be quite tricky. If you're interested in this approach you should first read Arrays Revealed.
