including a file in linux

veredv · 08-15-2012, 02:18 AM

Hi,
I need your help, I am trying to initialize array by including a file.
Each(File1.tbl) file have a number in it.
code:

unsigned char sFileParams::array[4] = {
{
#include "File1.tbl"
},
{
#include "File2.tbl"
},
{
#include "File3.tbl"
},
{
#include "File4.tbl"
}
};

The following code works in windows ,but in linux I get the following error:
"braces around scalar initializer for type unsigned char".
Thanks!

this is not related to linux or windows, but the language you use and the compiler. How did you try them?

Then simplify it:

Code:

unsigned char sFileParams::array[4] = {
#include "File1.tbl"
,
#include "File2.tbl"
,
#include "File3.tbl"
,
#include "File4.tbl"
};

is it necessary to specify array[4]? I thought array[] would be sufficient.

Anyway, this is not a good practice of using #include and should not be encouraged.
If the FileX.tbl never get updated, write those numbers in your code. If these files are dynamic, your code should read the numbers in runtime instead.
