Question on declaring strings
Posted: Tue Sep 15, 2009 9:49 am
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? _________________ Dazed and confused? I don't think so. Just "plain lost" will do. :D

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... _________________ Dazed and confused? I don't think so. Just "plain lost" will do. :D
