Convert guint8 to uint32_t in C/glib

I cant find a way to convert guint8 to uint32_t in C

I tried:

uint32_t *uint32_value = (uint32_t *)guint8_value;

but it says:

warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size [-Wint-to-pointer-cast]
   uint32_t *uint32_value = (uint32_t *)guint8_value
                            ^
warning: assignment makes integer from pointer without a cast [-Wint-conversion]
   uint32_t *uint32_value = (uint32_t *)guint8_value
                          ^
Solution

  • You aren't casting from guint8 to uint32_t.

    You are casting from an integer (guint8) to a pointer to an integer (uint32_t*)

    The correct code is very simple:

    uint32_t uint32_value = guint8_value;
