error when compiling

avi · #1 10-Aug-2004, 04:57

the error is :
warning C4047: 'return' : 'int ' differs in levels of indirection from 'int *'

the program is :

CPP / C++ / C Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int test(void)

{
int *ptr=NULL;
ptr=calloc (5,sizeof(int));
return ptr;

}


void main (void)
{
int *p=NULL;
p=test();
}

Hi avi. This was posted in the wrong forum so I moved it for you.

You are returning an int*, but your function shows a return value of int. Try changing your function as so:

CPP / C++ / C Code:



int* test(void)

{
int *ptr=NULL;
ptr=calloc (5,sizeof(int));
return ptr;

}
