I am getting a precompilation error using Pro*C/C++. It does not seem to like my pointers. here is the source where the errors occur:

This is the .h file:

struct Class_type {

        char Name[Class_Name_Length];
        int  Fields;
        char Parent[Class_Name_Length];
        char Description[Class_Description_Length];
        int  Level;
      };

typedef struct Class_type *Class_ptr;

 and here is the source .c:

List_ptr DB_GetTableNames (

            List_ptr ClassNames,
            char *ErrorMessage)
  {
   Class_ptr     Class;
   List_ptr      ClassAttributes;
   Attribute_ptr ClassAttribute;
   List_ptr      TableNames;
   char         *TableName;
   char         *TempTableName;
   int           ListTableCount;

  TableNames = Create_List ();

/* Retrieve all attributes for the class, including parent attributes */
  Reset_List_Iterator (ClassNames);
  Class = (Class_ptr)Next_List_Element (ClassNames);   ClassAttributes = DB_GetClassAttributes (Class->Name, ErrorMessage);

     if (ErrorMessage[0] != 0) return (Create_List ());

/* Retrieve the Class Table Names */

  Reset_List_Iterator (ClassNames);
  while (!Is_End_Of_List (ClassNames)) {

       Class = (Class_ptr)Next_List_Element (ClassNames);
       TempTableName = ConvertToValidDBName (Class->Name);
       TableName = (char*) malloc(sizeof(strlen(TempTableName) + 1));
       TableName[0] = 0;
       strcpy (TableName, TempTableName);
       Enqueue ((Element_type)TableName, TableNames);
      }

it doesn't like "Class = (Class_ptr)Next_List_Element (ClassNames);" I can't understand why?

Are there some flags that may affect the typechecking that I am not aware of?

Here are my precompile flags:

PROFLAGS = include=$(ORACLEINCLUDE) include=$(INCDIR)

 And here is the portion of my makefile to execute the precompiler:

/usr/oracle1/app/oracle/product/7.3.2.2/bin/proc $(PROFLAGS) iname=$< Received on Fri Aug 14 1998 - 15:47:01 CDT
