Question on declaring strings
PostPosted: Tue Sep 15, 2009 9:49 am     Reply with quote
Hey guys,

I'm working on that TCP/IP project and I've found something that has caught the interest of me and another programmer.

The CCSized MCHP TCP/IP stack has 2 ways of declaring strings... One we all know and love and another we've never seen.
Code:

const char string[] = "some text"; // we know this one

char string = {"Some text"};

Anyone else ever see this and know how it might differ?

-Ben


EDIT:

It doesn't make for a happy CCS compile run. so it doesn't work. What the heck was someone thinking?

Post the filename where you found this problem. Post the directory path
to the file. Post the line number in the file.

Post your compiler version.

I'm running 4.099 -- and I can't find it now -- I copy/pasted a glob of text... maybe something just got mucked up.

Weird.

I can't even find the example webserver code I started with to make my stuff from.

I'm losing my mind.

In either case, it doesn't compile (as it shouldn't).. I don't think CCS is broken at all.

At this point, I would delete this thread if I could.

Nothing to see here --- move along -- Move along...
