Incompatible pointer type
- by Boffin
Hello.
I have the function with following signature:
void box_sort(int**, int, int)
and variable of following type:
int boxes[MAX_BOXES][MAX_DIMENSIONALITY+1]
When I am calling the function
box_sort(boxes, a, b)
GCC gives me two warnings:
103.c:79: warning: passing argument 1 of ‘box_sort’ from incompatible pointer type (string where i am calling the function)
103.c:42: note: expected ‘int **’ but argument is of type ‘int (*)[11] (string where the function is defined)
The question is why? Whether int x[][] and int** x (and actually int* x[]) are not the same types in C?
