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.
C2173 function : actual is not a pointer : parameter number :
parameterlist number
An attempt was made to pass a non-pointer argument to a
function that expected a pointer. This error occurs in
calls that return a pointer to a function. The first
number indicates which argument was in error; the second
number indicates which argument list contained the invalid
argument.
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.
