Hi SDCC developers, I've written some code for the PIC18F2620 that uses function pointer arrays. Whilst mucking around doing some debugging, I found that the pic16 port of SDCC crashes when attempting to handle an array of const pointers that is declared without an initialiser. As an example, for file "badcode.c" containing:
void (* const func_ptrs[])(); Compiling with "sdcc -mpic16 -c badcode.c" gives: badcode.c:1: error 66: attempt to allocate variable of unknown size 'func_ptrs' badcode.c:2: error 9: FATAL Compiler Internal Error in file 'glue.c' line number '1398' : 0 Contact Author with source code I was thinking of putting a "continue" after line 1278 of glue.c to skip to the next symbol after printing the error, rather than continuing to the "assert(0)" at 1398. However I suspect this problem should be getting picked up earlier. Doing something like: const int arr[]; Causes the error: badcode.c:1: error 99: variable 'arr' declared in code space must have initialiser Generated at line 1789 of SDCCsymt.c. Should this same error be raised for a function pointer array in code space with no initialiser? What is the best way to fix this?
