Could some C guru please help me?
I have a function that takes as an argument a pointer to an array of
unsigned chars (basically a hex representation of a dotted decimal IP
address). When I print out the received values in the receiving
function, I get something completely different from what I passed in.
The following are the relevant code snippets:
In the calling function:
unsigned char* TempAddrs[] = {"0xC0", "0xA8", "0x00", "0x63"};
......
......
returnStatus = DoSomething(Tem pAddrs);
In the called function I have, right at the start:
printf("Receive d : %u %u %u %u ...\n", addr[0], addr[1], addr[2],
addr[3]);
I am sure there is a problem, but I am not sure what it is - thanks in
advance for your help.

You are passing character strings and printing unsigned integers.
Either you change the printfs to %s or pass the numbers, and not
character strings!

The first line requires a diagnostic from the compiler.
So does the second.
And the third.
There's not enough information given to tell whether
there's anything wrong with the fourth line. It might
be a hopeless botch or it might be just fine; I can't
say.
The same holds for the final line: You've snipped
away so much that it's not possible to tell whether the
line is right or wrong.
Please post real code for a short, complete, compilable
program that demonstrates your problem. As things stand,
all I can say is that your difficulty is ..... or something
along those general lines.

The elements of TempAddrs are strings, or, more precisely,
pointers to the first element of an array of char.
%u expects a unsigned int argument.
You can't mix those types like that.

Here's a tip: null pointers don't have to be *dull* pointers!

You haven't shown us the declaration of DoSomething.
TempAddrs is an array of pointers to unsigned char. Evaluating the
name ``TempAddrs'' as a function argument gives you a pointer to
pointer to unsigned char. Is that what DoSomething expects to
receive? If not, turn up your compiler's warning level until it
complains.
You're representing each byte of the IP address as a string; for
example, you're representing the decimal value 192 as the character
sequence { '0', 'x', 'C', '0', '\0' }. You probably just want to
represent it as an unsigned char with the value 0xC0 (which you can
also write as 192); then a full IP address can be represented as an
array of four unsigned chars.

What does %u mean in a printf? It seems clear what the problem is
without a compilable sample - but maybe I am missing something?
He needs to use %s.

That's what I told him. Eric's answer is not really helpful.

Maybe. I'm not sure.
