Need help passing a struct to a function.

[phalanks]

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <fstream>
#include <cstdlib> //need this for my compiler to recognize exit.
using namespace std;

struct playerInfo
{
	char playerName[25];
	int goalsScored;
	int Assist;
};

int buildAr(playerInfo);


int main()
{
	const int AR_SIZE = 35;
	playerInfo information[AR_SIZE];
	int inArray;
	
	inArray = buildAr( information );
}

int buildAr( playerInfo players[] )
{
	ifstream inFile;
	playerInfo player;
	int i=0;
	
	inFile.open( "binary_hockey.txt", ios::binary);
	
	if ( inFile.fail() )
	{
		cout << "The binary_hockey.txt file did not open";
		exit (1);
	}
	
	inFile.read( (char *) &player, sizeof(playerInfo) );
	
	while (inFile)
	{
		players[i] = player;
		i += 1;
		inFile.read( (char*) &player, sizeof(playerInfo) );
	}
	
	inFile.close();
	
	return i;
	
}

I keep getting the error conversion from 'playerInfo*' to non-scalar type 'playerInfo' requested at line 28

I'm using g++ as my compiler on Ubuntu 10.10

try adding a * before ( information )

[phalanks]

Now I'm getting "undefined reference to 'buildAr(playerInfo)'

Change the declaration of buildAr to int buildAr(playerInfo[]);

[phalanks]

That did it. Thank you both for answering!
