Warnings from Calling memory addresses

[piranha]

When I have loaded a binary file into a buffer, say, named

Code: Select all

char buf[1024]

and I want to call it, I define a

Code: Select all

char (*c)();

variable, and set the equal:

Code: Select all

c = buf;

and go

Code: Select all

c();

When I do so, I get a warning message:

Code: Select all

warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type

Is there a way in the coding to get rid of that?

Cast it.

[piranha]

Cast, as in

Code: Select all

c = (char *)buf;

? This doesn't change the warning at all.

Code: Select all

c = (char (*)())buf;

Ah, of course!

I should have realized that...

Thanks
