Setting pointers to structs
- by Bobby
I have the following struct:
struct Datastore_T
{
Partition_Datastores_T cmtDatastores; // bytes 0 to 499
Partition_Datastores_T cdhDatastores; // bytes 500 to 999
Partition_Datastores_T gncDatastores; // bytes 1000 to 1499
Partition_Datastores_T inpDatastores; // bytes 1500 1999
Partition_Datastores_T outDatastores; // bytes 2000 to 2499
Partition_Datastores_T tmlDatastores; // bytes 2500 to 2999
Partition_Datastores_T sm_Datastores; // bytes 3000 to 3499
};
I want to set a char* to struct of this type like so:
struct Datastore_T datastores;
// Elided: datastores is initialized with data here
char* DatastoreStartAddr = (char*)&datastores;
memset(DatastoreStartAddr, 0, 3500);
The problem I have is that DatastoreStartAddr always has a value of zero when it should point to the struct that has been initialized with data.
What am I doing wrong?
