Error error in operand of ‘->’ which has non-pointer type ‘sensor_msgs::PointCloud’

edit

I wrote a code to convert from laserscan points to sonar scan point from the following link

wiki.ros.org/laser_geometry where they provide the following code

Laser_geometry::LaserProjection projector_;
tf::TransformListener listener_;
void scanCallback (const sensor_msgs::LaserScan::ConstPtr& scan_in)
{
    if(!listener_.waitForTransform(
    scan_in->header.frame_id,
    "/base_link",
    scan_in->header.stamp + ros::Duration().fromSec(scan_in->ranges.size()*scan_in->time_increment),
    ros::Duration(1.0))){
 return;
 }

   sensor_msgs::PointCloud cloud;
   projector_.transformLaserScanToPointCloud("/base_link",*scan_in,
         cloud,listener_);

   // Do something with cloud.
}

This what I added only

Laser_geometry::LaserProjection projector_;
tf::TransformListener listener_;
void scanCallback (const sensor_msgs::LaserScan::ConstPtr& scan_in)
{
    if(!listener_.waitForTransform(
    scan_in->header.frame_id,
    "/base_link",
    scan_in->header.stamp + ros::Duration().fromSec(scan_in->ranges.size()*scan_in->time_increment),
    ros::Duration(1.0))){
 return;
 }

   sensor_msgs::PointCloud cloud;
   projector_.transformLaserScanToPointCloud("/base_link",*scan_in,
         cloud,listener_);

   // Do something with cloud.
    // this what I added it 

      for(int i=0; i< cloud->points.size(); ++i)
          {
             Eigen::Vector3d data(cloud->points[i].x,cloud->points[i].y,0.0);
          }

}

I got the following error base operand of ‘->’ has non-pointer type ‘sensor_msgs::PointCloud’

how can I solve it ?
