Hi,
It has been a LONG TIME since I've done any programming in C. I have
two old programs still in use which were developed on msdos, using the
"Mark Williams Let's C" compiler. We're talking 1980's stuff here.
Anyway, I thought to try to port them to linux. Can anyone tell me
what I'm doing wrong?
Here are the relevant portions of indatax.c:
char *namectrl = NULL;
char *name1 = NULL;
char *name2 = NULL;
typedef struct {
char *var; /* destination for storage of the data */
size_t len; /* max len of the data */
char *(*xlat)(); /* translation routine */
} DATUM;
DATUM recip_data[] = {
{ namectrl, NAMECTRL_LEN, make_upper },
{ name1, NAME1_LEN, make_upper },
{ name2, NAME2_LEN, make_upper },
[...]
And these are the errors...
indatax.c:124: initializer element is not constant
indatax.c:124: (near initialization for `recip_data[0].var')
indatax.c:125: initializer element is not constant
indatax.c:125: (near initialization for `recip_data[1].var')
indatax.c:126: initializer element is not constant
indatax.c:126: (near initialization for `recip_data[2].var')
[...]
gcc version 2.95.3
Thanks,
