[previous] 3404 [next] Statement contains a redundant * operator at top level. *p++ means *(p++) not (*p)++.
Redundancy

The dereference operation ( * ) in this expression is redundant because the value obtained is never used. Perhaps the intention was that the increment or decrement operation was to be applied after rather than before the dereference ? If so, the expression should be rewritten with parentheses as shown in the code example below.

void foo(int *p)
{
    *p++;                         /* Message 3404 */

    (*p)++;                       /* OK */
}
