void main()
{
  int *a;
  AllocateMem(&a); 
  printf("[%d]",*a);
}

Gives an exception. I want the function to allocate the memory and want that to use in main. How?
Scroll down for an answer

void AllocateMemory(int **p)
{
  *p = (int*)malloc(sizeof(int));
  **p = 6;
  return;
}

void main()
{
  int *a;
  AllocateMemory(&a);
  printf("[%d]",*a);
}
