An array of structures, I wrote...

I wrote the function in a class above. Doesn't compile with errors invalid array access.

What is the data type?

input_rule

Artyom Trishkin:

What is the data type?

This is my structure.

struct input_rule
  {    
   int                        candle_number;                // candle one order number
   int                        number;                       // rule number   
   bool                       enable;                       // rule enable status
   ENUM_DIR_TYPE              mode;                         // trade direction
   ENUM_CANDLE_TYPE           candle1_type;                 // candle 1 type
   ENUM_CANDLE_TYPE           candle2_type;                 // candle 2 type
   ...
  }

And you want to copy an array of such structures into another array of such structures?

Artyom Trishkin:

Copy it, return it, or get it in any other way by calling the appropriate class method.

[Artyom Trishkin]

Juer:

Copy, return or otherwise retrieve it by calling the appropriate class method.

So, you have an array inside the class and you want to access it externally, right?

[Juer]

Artyom Trishkin:

So you have an array inside a class, and you want to access it externally, right?

Yes.

[Artyom Trishkin]

Juer:

Yes.

Have you tried that?

input_rule GetRulesArray() { return &rules; }

[Juer]

Artyom Trishkin:

Have you tried that?

Tried it - it doesn't compile
