C++ :: Error Dereferencing Pointer To Incomplete Type
Jul 10, 2013
I am having trouble with this program I get the error dereferencing pointer to incomplete type in the populate function I am using BloodShed's Dev C++ compiler v4.9.9.2 I copied this program out of a book because I was having a problem with a linked list in a similar program. I think there is a problem with the compiler not supporting these types of pointer's in a function.
#include <stdio.h>
struct tel_typ {
char name[25];
char phone_no[15];
struct tel_typ *nextaddr;
[code].....

I've been writing the math functions for a 3d game and tried compiling it at about 30 functions in. I get this error related to my pointers to my structures. it affects almost everything in all my functions (as youll see by looking at how i do the math in the function below). The compiler gives me the error
"error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type"
on all my struct Type4D pointers but referencing the values in my struct TypeMatrix4X4 using pointers seems to work fine i think (it doesn't seem to complian explicitly about it. so here is the important code...
one example function
Code:
struct Type4D *MatVecMult4X4RtoL(struct TypeMatrix4X4 *mat, struct Type4D *vec) {
struct Type4D *dest = (struct Type4D *) malloc(sizeof(struct Type4D));
[Code]....

I am getting this error:
drivers/media/video/mxc/capture/gt2005.c:2256:62: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
I am at a loss trying to figure this out. Here it is:
case Sensor_Flash:
{
struct i2c_client *client = to_i2c_client(to_soc_camera_control(icd));
struct sensor *sensor = to_sensor(client);
if (sensor->sensor_io_request && sensor->sensor_io_request->sensor_ioctrl) {
sensor->sensor_io_request->sensor_ioctrl(icd->pdev,Cam_Flash, on);
if(on){
Lines 6 and 7 are giving me the same error. What am I doing wrong?

keep getting "deferencing pointer to incomplete type" on the bold lines:
main:
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
printf("Please think of an animal. I will try to find out what it is by asking you some yes/no questions.");
struct treenode *root = mkTreeNode("Is it a reptile?
", NULL, NULL);
struct treenode *selectedNode = root;
root->left = mkTreeNode("Does it have legs?

When declare and assign an instance of a user-defined struct in a function. And the struct (theStruct) is not declared in the same header file as the function (theFunction). Like this:
files:
"A.h": declares the struct in a class (theClass)
"A.cpp": implements the struct
"B.h": declares the function
"B.cpp": implements the function, error here
I think making the instance (inst) a reference might solve this. But the instance is assigned to a return value from a function (returnFunc). Like:
void theFunction() {
...
theClass::theStruct inst = returnFunc(...);
//returnFunc() returns an instance of theStruct
//the error is at 'inst'
...
}
What do you think?

I am trying to get a program to take two files and place them into a third file. I have searched all over this website looking for a solution and i can seem to find one.
My issue is that i keep getting an error 'incomplete type is not allowed' as well as 'no operator matches these ">>" these operands.'
#include<iostream>
#include<string>
#include <sstream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
string filename1;

So, I ran into the above error. I can't post the actual code, but here is the setup... I have four classes: A, B, C, and D.
A.hpp
Code:
class A {
public:
virtual void foo( D& bar );
[Code] .....
In A.cpp I implement foo and use bar in a similar manner as shown in class C. The difference here is that in A.cpp I also include the header for the D class. I am a bit confused why I can pass bar to B::foo() and that works fine, but if I try to access bar in C::foo, I have issues. Currently I am just including D.hpp in C.cpp.

I could understand void pointers I created the following program:
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
int main(void) {
char word[] = "Zero";
int number = 0;
void *ptr = NULL;
[Code] .....
The program works fine, however i really want to fully understand what is going on with the dereferencing of the void pointer, for example: With the following code:
Code:
ptr = &number;
*((int *)ptr) = 1;
Why can't you just do:
Code:
ptr = &number;
*(int *)ptr = 1;
And again with this code, (i'm guessing it's becuase its a pointer to a pointer?):
Code:
ptr = &word;
strcpy(ptr,"One");

I have attached the source code I am writing. I have been getting the two following errors. I know it's something to do with the pointer casting.
udp-server.c:174:3: error: subscripted value is neither array nor pointer nor vector
udp-server.c:165:3: error: cannot convert to a pointer type
The file is attached here.

I have an enum like:
Code:
typedef enum mac_type_e{
STATIC_MAC,
BLACKLIST_MAC
} mac_type_t; and I want to use this type in a structure that's declared like:
Code:
typedef struct lan_mac_s {
UINT16 lanmacid;
enum mac_type_t lan_mac_type_pp;// user mac type per port, 20 mac_type_t array, 0 = static, 1 = blacklisted now,
The compiler tells me:
Code:
incomplete type is not allowed
enum mac_type_t lan_mac_type_pp;// user mac type per port, 20 mac_type_t array, 0 = static, 1 = blacklisted
But if I remove the preceeding "enum" keyword, it compiles fine.

The code below is supposed to be a program that allows the user to enter in 2 matrices and add them together, and gives an error when they're not the same dimensions.
The error I'm getting is on line 11 of MAIN.CPP and is saying "The Variable has incomplete type 'Matrix'".
MAIN.CPP

Below is my code snippet.I'm getting "Error:initialization from incompatible pointer type" error on line 'int *q = status;'.
Obviously, I'm missing something but has no clue...:(

int status[y_count][x_count][4];
int *q = status;
for(int i = 0;i < (y_count * x_count * 4);i++)

I am trying to compile the files below. The PosLin.cpp contains the SurTriAuto and SurTriPosRotAndQ functions below. Before adding SurTriPosRotAndQ, it compiled fine, but when I added SurTriPosRotAndQ, I am getting "invalid use of incomplete type ‘struct PosRotAndQ" error messages
I was thinking I could try moving SurTriAuto and SurTriPosRotAndQ to PosLin.h, but since they return "T*", I'm not sure what to do
I have a "t.h" file
namespace TNS
{
class T
{
[Code]....
when I add "include Pos/PL.h" to geopar.h, I get an error saying v.hpp is missing, where v.hpp is part of a 3rd-party software and it is already in my directory

Let's assume "person" is a class that has a member "age", and personptr is a pointer to a person object.
doStuff(personptr->age);
doMoreStuff(personptr->age);
andSomethingElse(personptr->age);
andSomethingElse(personptr->age);
Is this bad for performance? Is the following better or doesn't it matter?
int person_age = personptr->age;
doStuff(person_age);
doMoreStuff(person_age);
andSomethingElse(person_age);
andSomethingElse(person_age);

Here is the pseudocode,
Code:
class myDX9Widget {
std::vector<Object*> m_vRenderObjects;
};
class Object {
};
class Lorry : public Object {
Activity *activity;
[Code] .....
Don't worry about the exact syntax here, I'd like to concentrate, on a conceptual level, why the line
lorry->Owner->m_vRenderObjects.push_back(pallet);
is not allowed
lorry is regarded as "Pointer to incomplete class"

I'm writing a class "Property" for a program that manages different types of properties. This is my .h for y base class. I was trying to write a virtual void function to convert different children classes to strings that can be displayed, but Xcode is freaking out.
I had it as:
virtual void toString()= 0;
and it gave me an error message: "Virtual can only exist in non-static member functions" and "field has incomplete type 'void'"
I changed it to:
virtual string toString() = 0;
and the error message didn't change.
Is this an issue with Xcode or did I do something wrong? Even after changing it to string it told me that it "has incomplete type 'void'"....

Q. Consider the following C declaration.
int x[10], y,z;
What kind of error does following statement contain?
z == x +y;
a. Syntax error
b. Semantic error
c. logical error
d. All of the above
According to me it should be option a, but I am confused, how to get confirm answer with explanation.

I need to create the following brain damaging abomination:
I need a function pointer type to a function that has an argument of the same function pointer type and returns the same function pointer type.
The purpose is to enable a type of subroutine threading scheme for a small application specific scripting language. The question could just as well have been posted to the C forum.
This syntax works, but Payload is a generic type which I can coerce into the right pointer type via a cast. This is ugly IMHO. I could also hide it as a pointer in the FlipState class since I've forward declared this.
But this is an extra indirection in a performance critical part of the code, and also ugly.
Code:
class FlipState ;
typedef PayLoad (*FuncPtr) (FlipState *fs, PayLoad P) ; This syntax blows chunks using gcc on the other hand. Code: class FlipState ;
typedef FuncPtr (*FuncPtr) (FlipState *fs, FuncPtr P) ;
[Code] .....
This is hardly surprising. The compiler could not possibly understand what I was defining in the typedef. I think what I need is some kind of way to forward declare a function pointer type and then redefine it properly.
Is such a think even possible or am I just SOL? This one is mind boggling. We know how to do this with classes or other complex data types, but the syntax eludes me for both C++ and C.

I came across some code and it's not clear why it is casting an unsigned char * to another pointer type only to free it right after. Here are the relevant structures:
Code:
struct _Edje_Message {
Edje *edje;
Edje_Queue queue;
Edje_Message_Type type;
int id;
unsigned char *msg;
[Code] .....
As you can see, _Edge_Message has a *msg field, but in the function below, they cast it to the other two structure types inside the case blocks of the switch statement only to free it. What is the point or advantage of doing this?
Code:
void
_edje_message_free(Edje_Message *em) {
if (em->msg) {
int i;
switch (em->type) {
[Code] ......

I have an array of char pointers:
Code: char *input_args[MAX_ARGS];
And I have this function:
Code: BOOL parseArgs(char **input_args[], input arg_num);
I am trying to pass a pointer to this char pointer array like this:
Code: parseArgs(&input_args, args_num);
But the compiler is complaining:
Code: warning: passing argument 1 of 'parseArgs' from incompatible pointer type ...
note: expected 'char ***' but argument is of type 'char * (*)[20]'
Tried a bunch of stuff but nothing works.

This is a c++ Code. I want to read a address to a pointer. When I try to do so it generates an error. I did is >> obj1[0].contentAdress; in main.
struct node3{
node3(){
nextContent = NULL;
for (int i = 0; i<1020; i++)
content[i] = '';
[code]...
no operator found which takes a right-hand operand of type 'node3 *' (or there is no acceptable conversion)

I am having trouble with the array pointer and with the variables. I don't seem to have the pointer set up because the additional times the array is called it is empty. Also, if I don't use integers the program drops through. where I am going wrong?
Question is in the code
/*
NumClass
Main.cpp
*******************************************************************************************
*
* Design a class that has an array of floating point numbers. The constructor should accept an integer argument and dynamically allocate the array to hold that many numbers. The destructor should free the memory held by the array. In addition, there should be member functions to perform the following operations:
*
**Store a number in any element in of the array
