RobotC 3.51 Request #1 - Pointer Array initialization

Not necessarily a bug, but a request none-the-less, and it's really easy to work-around.


	Code: // These three initializations should be identical char buff = { 'a', 'b', 'c' }; char buffer[] = { 'a', 'b', 'c' }; char sbuff = "abc"; task main() { }

The last two work fine, but the first fails.

Your code doesn't look right. buff is declared as a char pointer but the initialization is trying to init an array of char. I just pasted this code to Visual Studio and it gave me the following error. So it is indeed correct for RobotC to reject it.


	Code: 1>c:\temp\visual studio 2012\projects\consoleapplication1\consoleapplication1\test.cpp(6): error C2440: 'initializing' : cannot convert from 'char' to 'char *' 1> Conversion from integral type to pointer type requires reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast
