Array of function pointers

David Turnbull

I have a constant array of function pointers in code space and I an trying to declare a pointer variable to point to this array and then assign the array address to the pointer variable.

The C51 compiler gives an error 213 for the assignment.

Is there anything obviously wrong with what I am trying to do.

extern const void (code * code ArrayOfFunc[])();

void (code * code * xdata ptrArrayOfFunc[])();

main() {
ptrArrayOfFunc = ArrayOfFunc;
}

Thanks

    Hi Andrew,

    It's been a long week and I am sure that most of us stumble into a pointer trap at some time. I am not usually that bad with multiple indirection.

    The error 213 was the only error that popped up with the simple example.

    There is a reason for the level of indirection. I need to plug in 2 different display drivers into an application but not let the application worry about which type it is.

    One is an in-built LCD graphic panel connect to a processor port, the other an external display device with a VT100 type serial interface. Only 1 display can be active.
