     Compiler error C2227
 
     left of '->identifier' must point to class/struct/union
 
     The left side of the specified class member access operator (->)
     was not a pointer to a class, structure, or union.
 
     The following is an example of this error:
 
          int  *pInt;
 
          struct S
          {
          public:
              int member;
          } *pS;
 
          void main()
          {
              pInt->member = 0;   // error, pInt points to an int
              pS->member = 0;     // OK, pS points to a structure S
          }
