I'm using CodeWarrior 9.2, and I'm getting a strange compiler error.
The following line of code compiles fine in the debug target, but
gives the following message in the release target.
const sclRepeat& scrollRepeat = pEvent->data.sclRepeat;
Error : 'const' or '&' variable needs initializer
DiaryDayForm.cpp line 906 const sclRepeat& scrollRepeat =
pEvent->data.sclRepeat;
Just for curiousity: what do you want the compiler to do? Maybe it's
valid C, who knows, but I've never seen a contruction like this, or
even used it. Why do you need it?
It's C++. The '&' makes 'scrollRepeat' a reference (which is like a
pointer where you can't change the address). The construct means that
using 'scrollRepeat' is the same as using 'pEvent->data.sclRepeat'
except (because of the 'const'), you can't change it through 'scrollRepeat'.
FWIW, best I can tell, this declaration is correct.
