Warning when using the BOOL variable in objective-c

Question

I'm trying to initialize my BOOL variable to YES, but it gives me this warning .. not quite sure what to do .. it still works fine, but just wondering how I can get rid of the warning.

I have a variable initialization in a header like this

//. H

BOOL *removeActivityIndicator; //.. @property (nonatomic, assign) BOOL *removeActivityIndicator; 

Then I try to set it as YES (this also I get a warning)

 self.removeActivityIndicator = YES; 

The warning reads:

incompatible integer with pointer conversion passing "BOOL" (aka 'signed char') to a parameter of type 'BOOL *' (it is also signed char * ')

Answer 1

The warning is true; you specified the variable as BOOL * (pointer to BOOL), which is almost certainly not what you want. Remove * from ad.

Answer 2

removeActivityIndicator is a char pointer , and you assign char to it, so either:

• change it to BOOL removeActivityIndicator;
• Divide it: *(self.removeActivityIndicator) = YES;

Answer 3

You pointed to BOOL , which is a primitive type. Remove the extra * before the remoteActivityIndicator .
