The following error is from "Compilation-Error Messages" in the
"Microsoft QuickC Compiler Programmer's Guide," Section D.1.2, Page
339, and from "Compiler and Run-Time Errors -- New Messages" in the
Microsoft C Optimizing Compiler file ERRMSG.DOC, on Version 5.00's
Setup Disk and on Version 5.10's Compiler Disk 1, but not in the
"Microsoft C Optimizing Compiler User's Guide" for those versions:
C2172 function : actual is not a pointer, parameter number
An attempt was made to pass a non-pointer argument to a
function that expected a pointer. The given number
indicates which argument was in error.
When the compiler encounters any of the errors listed in this section,
it continues parsing the program (if possible) and outputs additional
error messages. However, no object file is produced.
