How to solve Spurious pointer conversion ?

[milan.rajik]

I am doing a GSM based Device control project. I have two functions. One is to send AT Commands and another to send SMS. I am calling GSM_Send_Const_Cmd() inside GSM_Send_SMS() function. I am passing address of two variables index and attempt to GSM_Send_Const_Cmd() (idx, attempt) and the same pointers have to be passed to GSM_Send_Const_Cmd() from GSM_Sens_SMS()

I am getting Spurious pointer conversion messages in Compiler related to idx and attempt arguments.

You can't use "sizeof" macros inside the void while using array pointer as a parameter.

Ok. Thank you.
