LinuxQuestions.org - C code: error: incompatible types in assignment

Hey,

I am trying to fix an incompatible types in assignment error, and I can't quite figure it out.

Here is where the error comes from:

Code:

curr_cap_header->markings[curr_marking] = (u8) 0;

Here is the related code

Code:

void create_capability_header(char *buffer, unsigned short buffer_size);



struct iphdr *ip_header;

pubkey_token *token_key;

bcap_token_hdr *token_header;

secflow_capability *curr_cap_header;



struct udphdr *udp_header;



char *currpos;



void create_capability_header(char *buffer, unsigned short buffer_size) {

        int curr_marking;

        curr_cap_header = (secflow_capability *) currpos;

        curr_cap_header->id = 1;

        curr_cap_header->prioclass = 0;

        curr_cap_header->cur_router = 1;



        for(curr_marking=0; curr_marking < MAXPATHLEN; curr_marking++) {

                curr_cap_header->markings[curr_marking] = (u8) 0;

        }



        currpos = (char *)curr_cap_header + sizeof(secflow_capability);

}

Code:

typedef struct t_secflow_marking{

  u8 marking;

} secflow_marking;



typedef struct t_secflow_capability{

  u32 id;

  u16 prioclass;

  u16 cur_router;

  secflow_marking markings[MAXPATHLEN];

}secflow_capability;

I'd appreciate any help... thanks!
