two dimentional array(char) problem

jaydeep gajjar

hi !

I want a table from which i can take char data. so i have used char 2-dim array.my initialization is ok. but complier gives following error :

MAIN.C(24): error C242: 'array[]': too many initializers

unsigned char  guj_powerfail[8][5]= {{0x1b,0x0b,0x0b,0x0b,0x0f,0x03,0x03,0x00},
                                                                                  {0x19,0x11,0x11,0x11,0x13,0x1d,0x01,0x00},
                                                                                  {0x1c,0x04,0x04,0x1c,0x08,0x08,0x0c,0x00},
                                                                                  {0x00,0x00,0x1d,0x05,0x05,0x05,0x1d,0x00},
                                                                                  {0x0f,0x00,0x1b,0x0b,0x1b,0x13,0x1f,0x00}};

Please help.

    So have you considered which of [5] and [8] that represents which dimension of your array?

    my initialization is ok. but complier gives following error

    If the initialization would be ok, the compiler wouldn't give you an error... doesn't it?

    The diagnostics given by a "small" compiler like C51 can often be quite limited - so it can be informative to also pass the code through another compiler.

    eg, GCC gives the following set of warnings for that code:

     warning: excess elements in array initializer
 warning: (near initialization for 'guj_powerfail[0]')
 warning: excess elements in array initializer
 warning: (near initialization for 'guj_powerfail[0]')
 warning: excess elements in array initializer
 warning: (near initialization for 'guj_powerfail[0]')

 warning: excess elements in array initializer
 warning: (near initialization for 'guj_powerfail[1]')
 warning: excess elements in array initializer
 warning: (near initialization for 'guj_powerfail[1]')
 warning: excess elements in array initializer
 warning: (near initialization for 'guj_powerfail[1]')

 warning: excess elements in array initializer
 warning: (near initialization for 'guj_powerfail[2]')
 warning: excess elements in array initializer
 warning: (near initialization for 'guj_powerfail[2]')
 warning: excess elements in array initializer
 warning: (near initialization for 'guj_powerfail[2]')

 warning: excess elements in array initializer
 warning: (near initialization for 'guj_powerfail[3]')
 warning: excess elements in array initializer
 warning: (near initialization for 'guj_powerfail[3]')
 warning: excess elements in array initializer
 warning: (near initialization for 'guj_powerfail[3]')

 warning: excess elements in array initializer
 warning: (near initialization for 'guj_powerfail[4]')
 warning: excess elements in array initializer
 warning: (near initialization for 'guj_powerfail[4]')
 warning: excess elements in array initializer
 warning: (near initialization for 'guj_powerfail[4]')

    which gives you more of a clue as to what is wrong with your code.

    "my initialization is ok"

    As already noted, if it was OK, you would not get the error - would you?!

    whatever happens it is ALWAYS the fault of the tools.

    I wonder if the OP has disappeared having found the GLARING error by him/herself
