array of structs initialization - PLZ help...
I have a struct as a class member, and an array of these structs as another member. I am trying to initialize the array in my class implementation file and it has been a nightmare so far. The weird thing is, that I can initialize an array of structs without a problem in a normal program, but when I try to do it for the class, I don't get a compiler error, but the struct variables remain uninitialized. Here is what I am doing:
...in tictactoe.h:
class tictactwice : public game {
public:
// STATIC CONSTANTS
static const int ROWS = 4;
static const int COLUMNS = 4;
// here is the struct
struct boardIndex {
int x;
int y;
};
// here is the array
struct boardIndex TRANSPOSITION[ROWS][COLUMNS];
// CONSTRUCTOR
tictactwice( );
protected:
.....bla bla
private:
.....bla
};
And I am initializing it in tictactoe.cxx like this:
struct tictactwice::boardIndex TRANSPOSITION[tictactwice::ROWS][tictactwice::COLUMNS] = {{{2,3},{0,0},{1,2},{3,1}},
{{1,1},{3,2},{2,0},{0,3}},
{{3,0},{1,3},{0,1},{2,2}}
{{0,2},{2,1},{3,3},{1,0}}};
Making this thing compile gave me nightmares, and right after I got happy I discovered that even though it compiles, the structs inside the array do NOT get initialized. I am clueless at this point - I know that this method would work for simple struct and a simple array, but I guess the belonging to a class part messes it up somehow. I REALLY REALLY appreciate your help!
