how to create/generate arrays?

[MREA]

Hi

I need to create an pointer to an array of funktions.

but actually I do not get how to create an array. Is that possible?

Hi,

You can specify C arrays using the 'Container Type' field from the attributes' properties 'Details' tab:

PS.: I found these things by reverse engineering the valid C code. I think this is generally a good approach to find out what will work from forward code generation and how.

ahh ok,
thank you again!

and how to do this for parameters?
because this is what EA ignores,and i'm looking for at the moment

[Makulik]

I came over the problem with parameters defined as fixed array types earlier, and know that EA can't handle these correctly when reverse engineering the code.

I would recommend that you place the fixed array into a struct as shown in the sample, and pass this struct as parameter.

Best regards,

Sorry I was wrong with my former reply. I remember problems with array parameters, but that might have been with C++ specific code or an earlier version of EA.

You can simply postfix your parameter name with the array specifier in the 'Parameters' field of the 'Operation properties' dialog:


This works with reverse and forward engineering.

There seem to appear issues with function pointer types, I'm researching on this (see also: http://www.sparxsystems.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?num=1354223085).
