Initializing nested structures...
PostPosted: Sun Mar 29, 2009 4:54 pm     Reply with quote

Hi,

I'm just getting to grips with the CCS PIC compiler, so please go easy on me Smile

I have a structure, within a structure that I'd like to initialize. Whilst the code below compiles cleanly under, say gcc - I can't get the CCS PIC compiler to compile it - it just halts with a "Expression must evaluate to a constant" error...

Any chance someone can give the code a quick look over, and see what's likely to be the problem?

Cheers

Code:

#include <16F819.h>

struct Values{
  int8  name;
  int8  value;
};

struct Pairs{
  int8  option;
  int8  value;
};


struct Test {
  int16  my_code;
  struct Pairs     config[ 8 ];
  struct Values  current[ 8 ];
};

struct Test my_test = {

  0x1234,

  {
    { 0x01, 0x02 },  <--- errors at the start of this line.
    { 0x03, 0x04 },
    { 0x04, 0x05 },
    { 0x06, 0x07 }
  },

  {
    { 0x11, 0x12 },
    { 0x13, 0x14 },
    { 0x14, 0x15 },
    { 0x16, 0x17 }
  }

};

void main(){
  /* Dummy */
}

It works in vs. 4.089 and 4.090. Here's the output. The last 4 sets in
each group are zeros because your code declared an array of 8 sets,
but only the first 4 are initialized.
Quote:

my_test.my_code = 1234

01 02
03 04
04 05
06 07
00 00
00 00
00 00
00 00

11 12
13 14
14 15
16 17
00 00
00 00
00 00
00 00



The program below was tested in the MPLAB simulator, using "UART1"
(a feature of the simulator) to display the output in the Output Window.
Code:
#include <16F877.H>
#fuses XT, NOWDT, NOPROTECT, BROWNOUT, PUT, NOLVP
#use delay(clock=4000000)
#use rs232(baud=9600, xmit=PIN_C6, rcv=PIN_C7, ERRORS)

struct Values{
  int8  name;
  int8  value;
};

struct Pairs{
  int8  option;
  int8  value;
};


struct Test {
  int16  my_code;
  struct Pairs  config[ 8 ];
  struct Values current[ 8 ];
};

struct Test my_test = {
  0x1234,
  {
    { 0x01, 0x02 },   
    { 0x03, 0x04 },
    { 0x04, 0x05 },
    { 0x06, 0x07 }
  },

  {
    { 0x11, 0x12 },
    { 0x13, 0x14 },
    { 0x14, 0x15 },
    { 0x16, 0x17 }
  }

};


//==========================
void main()
{
int i;

printf("my_test.my_code = %lx \n\r", my_test.my_code);

for(i=0; i<8; i++)
    printf("%x %x \r", my_test.config[i].option, my_test.config[i].value);

printf("\n\r");

for(i=0; i<8; i++)
    printf("%x %x \r", my_test.current[i].name, my_test.current[i].value);


while(1);
}

Hi,

Thanks for that - I'll check what version we're running here...

Great to know it's not me going mad Smile

Thanks,
