Re: Structs

[Michael Rothwell <rothwell holly-springs nc us>]

Several problems that I see;


You're attempting to use a keyword as a variable name here:
> struct_t *struct;

try this instead:

struct_t	*my_widget_struct;

Here, you haven't malloced any memory for your struct:

>     struct_t->widget1 = gtk_widget_new("useless widget 1");
>     struct_t->widget2 = gtk_widget_new("useless widget 2");

If you had said:

struct_t	my_widget_struct; // notice, no "*"

Then you could do this:

my_widget_struct.widget1 = gtk_widget_new("useless widget 1");
my_widget_struct.widget2 = gtk_widget_new("useless widget 2");

If you want to keep using a pointer to your struct, do this:

struct_t	*my_widget_struct;
my_widget_struct=(struct_t *)malloc(sizeof(struct_t));
my_widget_struct->widget1 = gtk_widget_new("useless widget 1");
my_widget_struct->widget2 = gtk_widget_new("useless widget 2");
