I am trying to port a program. The complier says 'field "pointer" has incomplete type
typedef struct dc6header_s
{
long version; // 06000000} dc6header;
long unknown01; // 01000000
long unknown02; // 00000000
byte termination[4];// EEEEEEEE or CDCDCDCD
long unknown03; // 10000000
long blockcount; // 10000000
// after this, are pointers
long pointer[]; //<------------here
how can I fix this?
Sounds like your compiler isn't fully C99 compatible. I've done the same thing here with no trouble.
I am trying to compile it on os X do you have any suggestions it uses gcc
Specify the size of the array named pointer, eg
>long pointer[100];
or if you want a pointer instead of an array:
>long *pointer;
When all else fails, read the instructions.
If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]
Did you try this?
If all else fails you could use the gcc extension Arrays of Length ZeroCode:gcc -std=c99 ...
Btw, your code compiles fine on GCC 3.3 even without -std=c99. Maybe older version default to a different standard.
main() { int O[!0<<~-!0]; (!0<<!0)[O]+= ~0 +~(!0|!0<<!0); printf("a function calling "); }
