    [RESOLVED]return(*var=0,NULL);

    I am trying to compile code on MinGW for Mac and now I notice the code has a construct I've never seen, which compiled on VC++ 6.0 and VC++ Express.

    SomeStruct* CMyClass::MyMethod(const char *symbol,const int period,const time_t lasttime,int *count)

    {

    if(Something==NULL) return(*count=0,NULL);

    return Something(m_somevar,symbol,period,lasttime,count);

    }

    count is not a member of SomeStruct, so I assume it is just setting the value count points to equal to 0, then returning NULL.

    So does this do the same thing:

    if(Something==NULL) {
    *count=0;
    return(NULL);
    }
    return Something(m_somevar,symbol,period,lasttime,count);

    Or is there a switch I can pass to MinGW to let it accept the original return construct?

    I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones. ... and it probably never will support anything other than AT-harddisks, as that's all I have :-(.

    Question. Do you know that the character "?" means I'm asking a question? Question. Do you know that spoken inflection also provides the same cue? So please don't say, "Question" before you ask your question. Believe me I'll know.

    That said, I would have said this first if it had to precede what I'm telling you now. Having said that, what I'm telling you now is the same thing I just said about the annoying phrases "That said" and "Having said that".
