Passing a const 2D array to a function?

[PICoHolic]

Hello,

Is there a trick to pass a const 2D array as parameter to a function.

I tried for a while and I can't make it work.
You might have to use if-else or switch-case statements to
select which array to access (rather than passing a pointer).
See the TEXT array in glcd.c for an example.

Remember that in CCS, the most efficient way to store a 'const' array, doesn't support pointers.
Simplest solution using this method of storage, is to make the array 'global', and just pass the line number to the function, as an integer. Remember also, that inside the function, you will need to access the array using array accesses (table[a][b]), rather than using pointers, and for operations using pointers, you will need to copy the row to RAM using strcpy, before using these.
