Question

I have a structure:

typedef struct {
    LogLevel level;
    char message[255];
} LogMessage;

I then have a function which receives a pointer to a LogMessage structure, and needs to call a function that takes in a char*:

xStatus = xQueueReceive(xQueueHandleGSMSend, &lReceivedData, portMAX_DELAY);

if(xStatus == pdPASS)
{
    logSimpleMessage(&lReceivedData->message, 1);
}

Here is the prototype for the logSimpleMessage function:

void logSimpleMessage(const char * message, int level);

When I attempt to call it with the above code, I am not getting the correct address (or contents) of the message. How do I get a char* that points to the message of lReceivedData?

EDIT: I have attempted to use lReceivedData->message, as suggested, but I am still not getting the correct address or values. Here is a screen cap of the IDE… Am I doing something terribly wrong in the debugger, because it seems as though it should work.

Answer 1

instead of

logSimpleMessage(&lReceivedData->message, 1);

you put so:

logSimpleMessage(lReceivedData->message, 1);
