Incompatible Type for Argument 1

[RexxX]

Also argument 2 makes integer from a pointer with a cast. One argument is a struct declared in an included library. It's declared like:

struct pixelst *lzwArr;

lzwArr = (struct pixelst *) malloc(pixels); // pixels is an int

the second argument is an unsigned int 2D array. It's used in a function to store hex numbers. It's declared like:

int dlzwHeight = (int)lzwArr[0].height; //cast to int
        int dlzwWidth = (int)lzwArr[0].width; //cast to int

        unsigned int dlzwArr[ dlzwHeight ][ dlzwWidth ];
        dlzwFun(lzwArr, dlzwArr); //line giving the error

The reason I cast the struct variables to int is because they start as hex numbers. Can you see the problem from the code here?

This makes no sense at all.
What does this do?

int a = 10;
int b = 0xa;
printf( "%d %d\n", a, b );

The fact that the constant was written in hex, or was read from a string in hex and converted to an int doesn't make a bean of difference.

You appear to be trying to declare a variable sized array. If your compiler allows this (at all), it is non-standard behaviour.

> lzwArr = (struct pixelst *) malloc(pixels);
1. You cast the result of malloc. There is no need to do this if your C program is correct, and it hides problems if your C program is wrong.
2. The form should be lzwArr = malloc ( pixels * sizeof *lzwArr ); I'm guessing you allocated a hell of a lot less than you though you had, and have been trashing lots of memory as a result.

How would I malloc my 2D array dlzwArr with variables?
