Get an array via function-param

I have an array declared as

Object array[N];

and a function as

void GetArray(void** array, size_t count)
{
    *array =开发者_StackOverflow array;
    *count = N;
}

I'm trying to call the function with this code:

size_t number;
GetArray(XXX, &number);

where is XXX what should I pass to get the array? Thank you

EDIT 1

Object *array
GetArray((void**)array, number)

EDIT 2

static Object array[N]


Though I'm not 100% convinced that I understand your intent correctly, if GetArray has to return Object array[N] itself, how about returning Object* from GetArray?
For example:

size_t const N = 1;
Object array[N];

Object* GetArray(size_t* count)
{
    *count = N;
    return array;
}

EDIT:
As far as I see your edited question, the argument number for GetArray seems to be taken as a reference(not pointer). So, as for the array too, how about taking a reference instead of a pointer? Then you can avoid the troublesome void** stuff.
For example:

void GetArray(Object*& arr, size_t& count)
{
    arr = array;
    count = N;
}

int main() {
    size_t number;
    Object *arr;
    GetArray(arr, number);
    for ( size_t i = 0; i < number; ++ i ) {
        Object o = arr[i]; // example
    }
}


Just as with number, you should pass the address of array:

GetArray(&array, &number)

But with C++, you're better off using reference parameters.


The array variable is a pointer to the first element of the array (its value is the address of the first element).

void GetArray(Object* dest, size_t* count)
{
    dest = source; // source's value is an address; just copy it to dest
    *count = N;
}
...
GetArray(array, &number); // array's value is an address so you don't need "&"
