array init

[Servé Laurijssen]

Is it possible for an array to be initialised like this:

int arr[10] = { 0..9 };

So that the array holds 0 to 9 after that?

Nope, at least not that convenient. So, it's back to

int i;
int arr[10];
for (i = 0; i < sizeof arr/sizeof arr[0]; i++)
arr[i] = i;

You probably could provide a macro which is replaced by something
like that but I'd advise against that.
If you have several lengthy manual initialisations like that, put
them in a separate functions.

Not in that way. If you omit the size you can.

int arr[] = { 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 };

The same can be done with any of the basic types.
