Hi ,
I am using gcc version 3.3.2. While compiling this code
struct sockaddr_in *CBaseSocket::GetSocketName()
{
        socklen_t iLen;
        cCriticalSocket.Lock();
                // Do we have a socket?
        if (sSocket == INVALID_SOCKET)
                {
                cCriticalSocket.Unlock();
                return(NULL);
                };
        cCriticalSocket.Unlock();

        iLen = sizeof(struct sockaddr_in);
        if (!::getsockname(sSocket, (struct sockaddr *) &sTAddr, &iLen))
                return(&sTAddr);

        return(NULL);
};

I am getting this error while compiling :

"invalid conversion from `int*' to `socklen_t*'"

Can anyone help me to get rid of this error message ?

Thanks,
Abhijit
