Invalid number of occurrencies in arrays

[Carlo Wood]

This indeed seems to be a bug because the initialization occurs
as you expected as it evident from:

-----------------------------
#include <stdio.h>

enum VT_ARGS { ONE=1,  TWO, THREE };

typedef unsigned short VARTYPE;

typedef struct tagINTRINSIC
{
    char * szType;
    VARTYPE vt;
} INTRINSIC;

INTRINSIC rgIntrinsic [] =
{
    "one",   ONE,
    "two",   TWO,
    "three", THREE
};

int main(void)
{

  printf("sizeof(rgIntrinsic) = %d - Should be 24.\n", sizeof(rgIntrinsic));


  printf("Number of occurencies: %d - ", sizeof(rgIntrinsic)/sizeof(INTRINSIC));
  printf("Should be 3.\n");

  for (int i = 0; i < sizeof(rgIntrinsic)/sizeof(INTRINSIC); ++i)
    printf("%s %d\n", rgIntrinsic[i].szType, rgIntrinsic[i].vt);

  return 0;
}
-----------------------------

>./a.out
sizeof(rgIntrinsic) = 48 - Should be 24.
Number of occurencies: 6 - Should be 3.
one 1
two 2
three 3
(null) 0
(null) 0
(null) 0


The problem is that you forgot to add { } around the initializers however.
Using

INTRINSIC rgIntrinsic [] =
{
    { "DATE",         VT_DATE },
    { "HRESULT",      VT_HRESULT },
    { "LPSTR",        VT_LPSTR },
... etc

solves the problem.
