Problem with struct pointer, cannot access character array

[Franco]

Hello,

I have definded the following struct and a pointer to this struct:

Code:

struct mystruct {   int myfirstint;   char myarray[10];   int mylastint; } thisismystruct; struct mystruct *mystructPtr; ..... .....

Now I point the struct pointer to this struct and I want to access the struct elements using the struct pointer operator -> :

Code:

mystructPtr = &thisismystruct; mystructPtr->myfirstint;             // works fine, returns the correct value mystructPtr->myarray[0];             // does not work, returns wrong value mystructPtr->myarray[5];             // does not work, returns wrong value mystructPtr->mylastint;              // works fine, returns the correct value

This works fine for the integers, but if I want to access the elements of the character array, I get completely wrong values. I had a look at the generated assembler code, and it looks wrong for the character array, because it seems to simple.

Does anyone out there have an idea?

Cheers Franco

I made a test program, to check your problem.
It works fine with a 16F877, and PCM vs. 3.188.
