Problem with struct that name is pointer

[benny143]

I am having a problem accessing a struct, here is the code

typedef struct QueueStruct {
int Count; /* number of queue items */
void* Front; /* location of item to remove next */
void* Rear; /* place to insert next item */
}*QueueADT;



QueueADT QueueNew()
{

QueueADT *Q;

Q = new QueueADT ;
//t = **Q;
//(*Q)->Count = 0; /* Count == number of items in the queue */
//(*Q)->Front = NULL; /* Front == location of item to remove next */
//(*Q)->Rear = NULL; /* Rear == place to insert next item */

return *Q;
}

int main() {


using namespace std;

QueueADT q;

q = QueueNew();
q->Count = 0;


return 0;

Whenever I try and access and of the member variables I get an access denied message, it looks like I have the pointers setup incorrectly but I can't figure out what I doing wrong. Any help would be appreciated

hi Benny
see if it helps

#include <iostream.h>

//using namespace std;

typedef struct QueueStruct {
int Count; /* number of queue items */
void* Front; /* location of item to remove next */
void* Rear; /* place to insert next item */
QueueStruct(){ Count =0;
Front = NULL;
Rear = NULL;
}

} QueueADT;



QueueADT QueueNew()
{

QueueADT *Q;

Q = new QueueADT ;
//t = **Q;
//(*Q)->Count = 0; /* Count == number of items in the queue */
//(*Q)->Front = NULL; /* Front == location of item to remove next */
//(*Q)->Rear = NULL; /* Rear == place to insert next item */

return *Q;
}

int main()
{
QueueADT q;
q = QueueNew();
q.Count = 0;
return 0;
}

QueueADT QueueNew()
{

QueueADT Q; //Q is a pointer to structure of Type QueueStruct

Q = new QueueStruct ; //create a valid Queuestruct on the heap

return Q; //return the pointer
}
