Hi,
if I write this little code and compile with gcc-4.x.x then I get:
error: initializer element is not constant
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
typedef struct
{
char oneChar;
void *ptr2;
} xxx_t;
int main( void )
{
static xxx_t ms = { "12345"[3], 0 };
printf("\n\n MyOutput: 0x%x 0x%x \n\n", ms.oneChar, ms.ptr2 );
}
(I know that this code is rubbish but this just an extract from a bigger
issue, broken down to this)
What can be more constant than "12345"[3] ?
In g++ it works ... but I have to use gcc.
Any help about how to get this solved is welcome :-)
