error C2227: left of '->ChassisID' must point to class/struct/union/generic type

[rajatamilarasu]

for(i=0 ; i<listNum ; i++) {
checker.checkN1DisagreementSwitch(pRep_Active_SLis t[i].ChassisID, pRep_Active_SList[i].SlotID,
pRep_Standby_SList[i].ChassisID, pRep_Standby_SList[i].SlotID);
}
hi, i m getting the error "error C2227: left of '->ChassisID' must point to class/struct/union/generic type", when i try to compile the above code in my project.

The object(pRep_Active_SList) which is accessing the structure member variable(ChassisID) is a pointer object of that structure.

so, instead of ' . ' i used ' -> ' to access the structure variable. but again it shows the same error.
can any one help to solve it....

regard,
raja

pRep_Active_SLis t[i].ChassisID

Are you saying that ChassisID is a public member variable, like in a struct??

You may need t post the code that creates pRep_Active_SLis t[i] and the class/struct declaration of Rep_Active_SList.

hi.. good morning... thanks for reply me,

ya..ChassisID is a public member variable of the structure BSMChassisSlotList_t. The declaration of ChassisID is as follows

typedef struct _BSMChassisSlotList_t_ {
char ChassisID[BSM_CHASSIS_SIZE];
DWORD SlotID;
} BSMChassisSlotList_t;

pRep_Active_SList is a pointer object of the structure BSMChassisSlotList_t and the declaration is

DWORD NSNetSwitchExchangeEx(BSMChassisSlotList_t *pRep_Active_SList, BSMChassisSlotList_t *pRep_Standby_SList,int listNum)

sorry, i cont send u the whole code since it is 2 kloc code...

the code that create the pRep_Active_SLis t[i] is
for(i=0 ; i<listNum ; i++) {
checker.checkN1DisagreementSwitch(pRep_Active_SLis t[i].ChassisID, pRep_Active_SList[i].SlotID,
pRep_Standby_SList[i].ChassisID, pRep_Standby_SList[i].SlotID);
}

waiting for ur reply...

There's a lotta code missing. But I fudged in some dummy code and made a global array and got things to compile (but not link - i leave that to you.

#define BSM_CHASSIS_SIZE 1024
typedef struct _BSMChassisSlotList_t_ {
char ChassisID[BSM_CHASSIS_SIZE];
DWORD SlotID;
} BSMChassisSlotList_t;
 
class DUMMY
{
    public: 
        void checkN1DisagreementSwitch(char* FirstID, DWORD FirstSlotID,
char* SecondChassisID, DWORD SecondSlotID);
};
void checkN1DisagreementSwitch(char* FirstID, DWORD FirstSlotID,
char* SecondChassisID, DWORD SecondSlotID)
{
 
}
BSMChassisSlotList_t pRep_Active_SList[1024];
 
DWORD NSNetSwitchExchangeEx(BSMChassisSlotList_t *pRep_Active_SList, BSMChassisSlotList_t *pRep_Standby_SList,int listNum)
{
    DUMMY checker;
    int i = 0;
    for(i=0 ; i<listNum ; i++) {
    checker.checkN1DisagreementSwitch(pRep_Active_SList[i].ChassisID, pRep_Active_SList[i].SlotID,
    pRep_Standby_SList[i].ChassisID, pRep_Standby_SList[i].SlotID);
    }
    return 0;
}
int main()
{
 
}
 

Be sure your pRep_Active_SList exists ssomewhere as an array.

Also please note that in your original code you had an embedded space. See the ^ in the code below.

checker.checkN1DisagreementSwitch(pRep_Active_SLis t[i].ChassisID,
----------------------------------------------------------------------------^
pRep_Active_SList[i].SlotID,

If that's in your actual code, then you will get an error.
