I'm trying to pass an array pointer into a function to manipulate it.

I can't work out the syntax for the parameters and how to pass it in.

Something like...



But I can't work out the syntax.

Any help?

Never mind, just needed to remove the *.

Or IIRC (my C++ is a bit rusty) use '&' to get the physical instead of the pointer

I was trying to pass the pointer so that the function I called was manipulating the actual array rather than a copy of it.

I then found a reference on the t'interwebs that said something along the lines of "C++ arrays are already pointers". i.e. by passion gthe array you are actually just passing a pointer to the array.

Forgetting this was a classic C mistake which used to commonly lead to very horrible problems, like randomly writing over parts of memory being used by the OS

Nearly, and it's something you'll hear a lot of the time. For some differences, see here; for some freakiness, see here.
