I am trying to assign two pointers to the same character in two
different strings. If I assign the pointers once, they seem to
work. If I attempt to reassign the pointers to another location in
the same character strings, I get an error. One of the strings is a
char * passed to the function. The other is a pointer to a record structure.
The error is (in abbreviated terms):
"wrote to memory location in the stoarge heap. Use special
functions calls to access this area."
The problem seems to be caused if I assign the char pointers "try1"
and "try2" to another location in the same strings. It doesn't
happen with the first assignment.
The code that causes the problem looks like:
<SNIP>
char* try1;
<SNIP>
*try1=p->TrName[0];
<SNIP>
Exactly why do you think this would not give you an error ???
Hint: You didn't allocate any memory to 'try1'.
