Go Up to Compiler Errors And Warnings (C++) Index

Pointers can only be used with these operators:

• addition(+)
• subtraction(-)
• assignment(=)
• comparison(==)
• indirection(*)
• arrow(->)

Your source file used a pointer with some other operator.

int main (void)
{
  char *p;
  p /= 7;     /* ERROR: Illegal Use of Pointer */
  return 0;
}
