Create readonly array of data?

[Susan Rice]

I want to create a readonly array of data, then a readonly array of a
structure. This is data I access but I want it protected against
accidental change. The following is my test code.

#include "stdafx.h"

struct LVC
{
unsigned short int lo;
unsigned short int hi;
};

void main()
{
//This seems to work
static const unsigned short int LV[4] =
{0xAC00,
0xAC1C,
0xAC38,
0xAC54 };

//THIS DOESN'T WORK. COMPILER COMPLAINS
static const struct LVC[4] = {
{ 0xAC01, 0xAC1B },
{ 0xAC1D, 0xAC37 },
{ 0xAC39, 0xAC53 },
{ 0xAC55, 0xAC6F },
};

unsigned short i,j;

i = LVC[2].lo;
j = LVC[2].hi;
}

I'm using Microsoft Visual C++ Express Edition
(I'd also like to get rid of that #include "stdafx.h" if
there's some compiler configuration that will allow me
to do that.)

static const struct LVC is the type. You have to give a *name*
to that array.

for instance
static const struct LVC MyTable[4] = {
etc

Then you use THAT name:
i = MyTable[2].lo;
j = MyTable[2].hi;

P.S.
it is not void main() but int main(void).
But that is a detail.

See below about this.

struct LVC

It's generally prefered by most to reserve all caps for macros.

{
unsigned short int lo;
unsigned short int hi;
};

void main()

This should be int main(void)

{
//This seems to work
static const unsigned short int LV[4] =
{0xAC00,
0xAC1C,
0xAC38,
0xAC54 };

//THIS DOESN'T WORK. COMPILER COMPLAINS
static const struct LVC[4] = {

LVC is the name of struct type that you created above. What you wanted
was something like:

static const struct LVC LVC_array[4] = {

{ 0xAC01, 0xAC1B },
{ 0xAC1D, 0xAC37 },
{ 0xAC39, 0xAC53 },
{ 0xAC55, 0xAC6F },
};

unsigned short i,j;

i = LVC[2].lo;
j = LVC[2].hi;

Then change these two names as well.

}

I'm using Microsoft Visual C++ Express Edition
(I'd also like to get rid of that #include "stdafx.h" if
there's some compiler configuration that will allow me
to do that.)

This has to do with pre-compiled headers in VC++. I don't know
specifically to correct that in Express, but check your project
settings to remove any dependence. If you can't figure it out, you'll
need a Microsoft newsgroup.

I'm using Microsoft Visual C++ Express Edition

(I'd also like to get rid of that #include "stdafx.h" if
there's some compiler configuration that will allow me
to do that.)

when u create your project in msvc++

new project->Win32(win32 console app template is automatically
selected) ->
(enter a name for the project)->next->select "empty project"
option->finish

then add the header and source files that u need.

and more simply...
new project->select "general " option from the Project type window
->finish

//THIS DOESN'T WORK. COMPILER COMPLAINS
static const struct LVC[4] = {
{ 0xAC01, 0xAC1B },
u did not name the "template" ..it has been answered above

U never posted in this thread. I don't believe he even uses
c.l.c. If you refrained from snipping attributions it would be
easier to follow this. In addition msvc++ is system specific and
off-topic here.

I believe he has done so (although I admit it may have been cp rather than
clc) - a month or so ago.

Will you not take pity on someone who appears to be trying to coax his
Microsoft implementation into conforming mode?

Please don't use silly abbreviations like "u" for "you". It makes
your articles harder to read, and a lot of people just won't bother.

And please don't snip attribution lines (lines of the form
"So-and-so writes:").

We must do something. This is something. Therefore, we must do this.

please do check the earlier thread "stack" which i had posted a few
days ago! ! regarding using msvc++ ,yes its a specific problem and off
topic but there is no harm if i am using the same compiler n can help
someone with something really simple and please do forgive me because
i am new to using Usenet
(Google groups to be specific) and my format of posting was wrong,i
will definitely try to improve on that!!

'Another thread' has nothing to do with it. Articles need to stand
alone. That is the point of quoting relevant matter. You would be
well advised to get a proper newsreader and access usenet directly
instead of through the flawed google interface. Also never use
silly geekspeak, such as 'u' and 'n' abbreviations. They only
serve to annoy and make reading hard, especially for non-English
speakers.

Just delete the #include <stdafx.hand #include the appropriate
standard C includes. The C-library link below will be useful, as
will the C99 standard.

How do I access usenet directly?
For free ?
