I have this code: typedef struct { int test; } SensorData_t; volatile SensorData_t sensorData[10]; SensorData_t getNextSensorData(int i) { SensorData_t data = sensorData[i]; return data; } int main(int argc, char** argv) { } It compiles with gcc version 8.3, but not with g++. Error message: main.c: In function ‘SensorData_t getNextSensorData(int)’: main.c:8:34: error: no matching function for… Read More indexing an element from a volatile struct doesn't work in C++

How can I populate a new array with strings passed as command line arguments in argv[]?

I am relatively new to coding, especially in C. I am attempting to create a simple program designed to take a phrase, or list of strings, as command line arguments that populate char* argv[].
