Using ST Visual Developer with Cosmic-C compiler. Why do I keep getting "Invalid indirection operand" when creating a pointer?

[JKain.1]

I'm using ST Visual Developer with Cosmic-C compiler.

Writing code for STM8S903K3.

Making a pointer to get the value from a SPR register, ADC_DRH:

uint8_t *pv;

pv = *0x005404;

I keep getting the errors;

#error cpstm8 main.c:85(8+8) invalid indirection operand

#error cpstm8 main.c:86(1+7) misplaced local declaration

Don't know what I'm doing wrong.

STVD hasn't provided the register definitions? Code'll never be pretty if you're poking memory like this. But if you insist...

  volatile uint8_t *pv = (uint8_t *)0x005404;
  *pv = <whatever you want to write>;
