Error of : initialization makes pointer from integer without a cast

6 New Member
Hi there, im pretty new to this forum and would be grateful of some help. I've only started programming this year and am pretty lazy with it so please bare with me if im acting like a bit of a noob...

right basically im trying to define a struct that will hold names for a phonebook i.e. with a string and a number

i have #included<stdli b.h> and everything else I need, and the 2 parts im struggling with are as follows

typedef struct {char name[20]; int num;} Phnbk;

Phnbk makeBook(char name[20], int num){
Phnbk entry = {name, num};
return entry;
}

from what I can see everything is in order, but when I compile I get an error saying:
In function makeBook:
warning: initialization makes pointer from integer without a cast

the rest of the code is fine in the program and compiles and runs perfectly when the above lines are commented out...

Any suggestions?

Cheers, Dan

Hi, In continuation of the thread I made "perhaps a stack problem? Long calculations - strange error?", I think I now got a "stable" error, meaning that the error always seem to come here now (tried: visual studio 2005 + linux/macintosh gcc)... That's a pretty good thing. I think the error still appears using both gcc and visual studio 2005. Everything is standard C (ANSI C ?? I don't know the difference) - but since so many functions...

Hi, I'm trying to make a function that opens a file, reads it in line by line, puts each line into an malloc'd array, and returns the array. I suspect I'm going about it in an atypical fashion, as I'm avoiding the use of fscanf and fgets to read in lines. I don't want to have to specify a temporary char* buffer to read in each line, and then have to concern myself with the (remote) possibility of overflows or with increasing the buffer...
