Dereferencing pointer to incomplete type Hello, I am making an application that implements doubly linked lists (each node has a pointer to the previous node and the next node), and I am am having trouble with the functions that service the list. Nov 17, 2016. Pointer to incomplete type /root/symantec/src/ap-kernelmodule-14.0.1904-0000/symev/hnfs.c:1006: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete.

The structure definition is incomplete in the header file, so you cannot refer to any struct members in your code. The compiler complains that it does not know about any struct members at all.An incomplete structure definition is one where you do not provide the list of members for the implementation. Such a definition allows you to manipulate pointers to such structures, but not access any members since they are not explicitly defined and the compiler needs to know their type and offset from the beginning of the structure to generate the corresponding code.Also not that the typedef PyType hides a pointer to a struct pytype. It is error prone to hide pointers behind typedefs, leading to confusing code for both the programmer and the reader.
