Hello there,
I just got a message that I should send a bug report. I'm
running linux (Redhat 5.2), kernel 2.2.9 on i386 (AMD K6),
gcc version:
2.7.2.3 (Output of gcc -v)
gcc version egcs-2.90.29 980515 (egcs-1.0.3 release) (Output of g++ -v)
Used command line:
g++ test1.cc -o test1
to compile.
The only difference between the two examples is that one
uses "dumm" as a placeholder and one "dum". It appears
that at least a four character string is necessary or things won't
work.
The following code compiles and runs:
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
char *myStr = "thisStringIsSeveralCharsLong";
int myStrLen = strlen( myStr ) + 1;
char testCharArr[][ myStrLen ] = { "dumm", "otherstring", "yetanother" };
strcpy ( testCharArr[0], myStr );
cout << "testCharArr[0] = " << testCharArr[0] << "\n";
}
The following code results in an error:
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
char *myStr = "thisStringIsSeveralCharsLong";
int myStrLen = strlen( myStr ) + 1;
char testCharArr[][ myStrLen ] = { "dum", "otherstring", "yetanother" };
strcpy ( testCharArr[0], myStr );
cout << "testCharArr[0] = " << testCharArr[0] << "\n";
}
