Question

I’m trying to increase a static array by doubling it dynamically in another array as soon as it is maxed. I planed on created new array with malloc(), then copy values over. Once done, I planned on deleting first array and then pointing first pointer to second?

float FirstArray[1];

if (first array is full) {
    float *TempArray = (float*) malloc (sizeof (float) * counter);
    for (loop) {
        TempArray[i] = FirstArray[i];
    }
    //I'm not sure how to point the static array to the dynamic one
    free(FirstArray);
    *FirstArray = &TempArray;
//i get this error with line above
//assignment makes integer from pointer without a cast
}

FirstArray needs to be dynamically allocated as well:

int counter = 1;
float *FirstArray = (float *)malloc(sizeof(float)*counter);

if (first array is full) {
float *TempArray = (float*) malloc (sizeof (float) * counter);
for (loop) {
TempArray[i] = FirstArray[i];
}
free(FirstArray);
FirstArray = TempArray;
