You cannot make function calls when initializing global structures.
This initialization is done at compile time, not run time.

First of all, when you post, please at least get the error
message right. It's a warning about making a pointer from
an integer without a cast, not the other way around as you stated.
I wonder why the compiler would complain about that...
Maybe it's because it wants a pointer and you're giving it
an integer, without casting it to a pointer?
The fix is simple: initialize stuff with the data type it's expecting.
I'm just wondering why you're using an array of pointers to integers
for class. If it were me, I would just be using an array of
integers. It would be much simpler.
