Struct member only accessible through pointer to struct.

Why can I only access a struct member through a pointer to said struct? I thought you were able to access a pointer's members via the dot notation?

Works for me.

There is something you aren't telling me.

What the chuff. I don't understand why it didn't work before, but it works now.

Sorry!

re: Struct member only accessible through pointer to struct.

In the example, the pointer is not initialized, nor is it pointing to the address of the structer declared above it. Though, by your follow-up response, I assume that this isn't an actual code snippet from your project. But otherwise, yeah, lines 3 and 4 would do the same thing if the pointer pointed to the address of the structure.
