6082 :: pointer to uint8: changing the underlying value

• mantielero (orginal) [2020-03-17T22:59:10+01:00] view original

  I'd like to change the content from an address. I though the following would work.

  let address = <the address comes from a function>
  address[] = 10
  Run

  How should I do it?

  It looks like the address type wasn't right. The following works (where "tmp" contains the pointer):

  let address:ptr uint8 = cast[ptr uint8](tmp)
  address[] = 10.uint8
  Run
