See more:

kernel

typedef struct _OBJECT_DIRECTORY_ENTRY
{
_OBJECT_DIRECTORY_ENTRY* ChainLink;
} OBJECT_DIRECTORY_ENTRY, *POBJECT_DIRECTORY_ENTRY;

this is the c++ struct its working fine in c++ btw am going with kernel here.and am trying to make this struct works with my C kernel driver struct its the same but i can't convert it to C struct and i get

<error type> *_OBJECT_DIRECTORY_ENTRY::ChainLink

but in c++ when i hover over it i see that its and in c++ its showing

_OBJECT_DIRECTORY_ENTRY *_OBJECT_DIRECTORY_ENTRY::ChainLink

so what i am doing worng here ? thanks for future replies

What I have tried:

i don't know what to try because its using the exact same struct name as a type !
