    <p>I'm getting a compiler error when trying to pass the address of an integer over to a function to be received as a pointer. This used to be working, but then I made some changes in my Makefile and now it doesn't work any longer. I doubt if it's syntax, but here it is:</p> <p>helper_funcs.h</p> <pre><code>void make_passive_connections(int *sockfd, Neighbor *neighbor, FILE *logfd, char this_router[64], struct sockaddr_in servAddr); </code></pre> <p>helper_funcs.c</p> <pre><code>void make_passive_connections(int *sockfd, Neighbor *neighbor, FILE *logfd, char this_router[64], struct sockaddr_in servAddr) { ... } </code></pre> <p>in the calling program</p> <pre><code> int sockfd; ... make_passive_connections(&amp;sockfd, &amp;neighbor, logfd, this_router-&gt;label, &amp;servAddr, &amp;num_hosts); ... } </code></pre> <p>The compiler also tells me that I am passing too many arguments. Is my computer having a bad day or what I am I overlooking?</p> <p>Here is my Makefile if it helps:</p> <pre><code>CC = gcc CFLAGS = -c -g -Wall -Wextra SOURCES = fork.c helper_funcs.c primary.c DEPS = primary.h fork.h helper_funcs.h OBJECTS = $(SOURCES:.c=.o) EXECUTABLE = primary all: $(SOURCES) $(EXECUTABLE) $(EXECUTABLE): $(OBJECTS) $(CC) $(OBJECTS) -o $@ #.c.o: # $(CC) $(CFLAGS) $&lt; -o $@ %.o: %.c $(DEPS) $(CC) -c -o $@ $&lt; $(CFLAGS) clean: rm -f *.o rm -f $(EXECUTABLE) </code></pre> <blockquote> <p>warning: passing argument 1 of ‘make_passive_connections’ from incompatible pointer type</p> </blockquote> <p>EDIT: I'm an idiot. I forgot to delete the last argument in my function call. But my main issue is why the compiler thinks that passing the address of an integer to a function that expects a pointer to an integer isn't working. Is there anything wrong with that?</p>

    1. COWell, you are passing 1 argument too much. What is the error you are getting exactly?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
