Printing the address of a struct object
- by bdhar
I have a struct like this
typedef struct _somestruct {
int a;
int b;
}SOMESTRUCT,*LPSOMESTRUCT;
I am creating an object for the struct and trying to print it's address like this
int main()
{
LPSOMESTRUCT val = (LPSOMESTRUCT)malloc(sizeof(SOMESTRUCT));
printf("0%x\n", val);
return 0;
}
..and I get this warning
warning C4313: 'printf' : '%x' in
format string conflicts with argument
1 of type 'LPSOMESTRUCT'
So, I tried to cast the address to int like this
printf("0%x\n", static_cast<int>(val));
But I get this error:
error C2440: 'static_cast' : cannot
convert from 'LPSOMESTRUCT' to 'int'
What am I missing here? How to avoid this warning?
Thanks.
