Question

I have a typedef int my_type and i have a function which looks like

void my_func (my_type* x); 

How should I use this func to modify x using the best practice?

Answer 1

You can use the dereferencing operator ‘*’ in your function :

void my_func (my_type* x) {   assert(x); // To protect from NULL pointer as mentioned in com.    *x = 5; //for example }
