C++ :: Assigning Physical Values To Pointers In VC++?

The problem may only apply to VC++ compiler - ??.

Cannot do this:

const unsigned int Port = 0x900E0000;
unsigned int *pData = Port; //Error - can't convert from int to int*.

Solution:

const unsigned int PORT = 0x900E0000;
const unsigned int PORT_PTR = ((unsigned int *)0x900E0000);
unsigned int *pData = PORT_PTR; //No Error.

I found no way to do it but the above.

Ex., you cannot do:

pData = (unsigned int *)0x900E0000;
