The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Compile problems with function that accepts FAR* params

Asked by jourdain_casale in C++ Programming Language

Tags: cannot, convert, from, far

When I try to compile I get the error:
cannot convert parameter 1 from 'CHAR *__w64 []' to 'ExchNamePtr'
Types pointed to are unrelated; conversion requires reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast

The strange part is it only happens in the case where I call the function like this:

void broken(type parm1, type parm2, type parm3) {
function(&parm1,&parm2,&parm3);
}
broken('string1','string2','string3');

But if I do it this way it is fine:

void works () {
type parm1 = "string";
type parm2 = "string";
type parm3 = "string";
function(&parm1,&parm2,&parm3);
}
works();

Does it make any sense if the typedefs used are exactly the same it just just passed through my function to cause this?Start Free Trial
