Bug ID: 71963
Summary: Showing incompatible type when types are same.
Product: gcc
Version: 4.6.2
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: sinu.nayak2001 at gmail dot com
Target Milestone: ---
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int k[3][3] = {{1,2,3},{4,5,6},{7,8,9}};
int (*c)[3];
int (*d)[3];
c = k+1;
d = k+2;
*c = *d; //error: incompatible types when assigning to type 'int[3]'
from type 'int *'
k[0] = k[1]; //error: incompatible types when assigning to type
'int[3]' from type 'int *'
printf("%d\n", (*c)[0]);
printf("%d\n", (*d)[0]);
return 0;
}
In the above code, errors are shown as commented.
No doubt, it is a tricky attempt to assign an array to another array.
However, aren't the types of both left hand side and right hand side same?
Sincerely,
