Array of structs - initialization errors

Question

I\'m creating some data structures here (with MFC), compiling in MS Visual C++ 6.0 (yes, it\'s old).

struct SOpcodeDa         


        

Answer 1

We've figured out another solution, without using #define: using a constructor to initialize the data structures. Sorta like this:

struct SOpcodeData
{
    SOpcodeData (const BYTE byDataType, const DWORD dwMinValue, const DWORD dwMaxValue, const WORD wRepeat)
      : m_byDataType(byDataType), m_dwMinValue(dwMinValue), m_dwMaxValue(dwMaxValue), m_wRepeat(wRepeat)
    {}

    BYTE m_byDataType;
    DWORD m_dwMinValue;
    DWORD m_dwMaxValue;
    WORD m_wRepeat;
};

SOpcodeData MY_BYTE  (DATA_U8,   0,  UCHAR_MAX,  1);
SOpcodeData MY_WORD  (DATA_U16,  0,  USHRT_MAX,  1);
SOpcodeData MY_DWORD (DATA_U32,  0,  UINT_MAX,   1);

SOpcodeData foo[] = { MY_BYTE, MY_WORD, MY_DWORD };

Thanks to everyone!

Since you insist on using a compiler with lots and lots of known bugs, you will need an ugly workaround:

#define MY_BYTE_CONTENT  { DATA_U8,   0,  UCHAR_MAX,  1 }
#define MY_WORD_CONTENT  { DATA_U16,  0,  USHRT_MAX,  1 }
#define MY_DWORD_CONTENT { DATA_U32,  0,  UINT_MAX,   1 }

SOpcodeData MY_BYTE  = MY_BYTE_CONTENT;
SOpcodeData MY_WORD  = MY_WORD_CONTENT;
SOpcodeData MY_DWORD = MY_DWORD_CONTENT;

SOpcodeData foo[] = { MY_BYTE_CONTENT, MY_BYTE_CONTENT, MY_WORD_CONTENT, MY_DWORD_CONTENT, MY_BYTE_CONTENT };
