initializing 4-dimensional array

[sharpsee]

I'm having trouble initializing a 4-dimensional array in nxc bricxcc. A little while ago, I hooked on to this topic. I've tried the steps presented here by muntoo, but they didn't work. Without any hope for it to work, I also tried with the NXT connected via USB. I don't need the 4-dimensoinal array, but having it would make my life a lot easier.
To be sure that nothing is wrong woth my array, I've tested with

Code: Select all

task main() 
{
int MyArray[][][][] = {
  {
    {{0, -1},{1, -1}},
    {{2, -1},{3, -1}}
  },
  {
    {{10, 11},{12, 13}},
    {{20, 21},{23, 31}}
  }
};
}

The error I'm getting is "Line12: Error: Error parsing expression: } Line12: Error: Error parsing expression: } }"

I would do it this way:
define the correct size from the start, e.g.
int MyArray[2][2][2][2];

then I initialize it step by step:
MyArray[0][0][0][0]=0;
MyArray[1][0][0][0]=1;
MyArray[0][1][0][0]=2;
MyArray[1][1][0][0]=3;
MyArray[0][0][1][0]=4;
MyArray[1][0][1][0]=5;

When I get around to posting my latest version of the compiler/IDE then you will be able to use your C-style initialization code. Or you could send me a regular email to the address in the About box and I could hook you up with a newer build than is currently available on line.

P.S., how exactly would having a 4-d array make your life a lot easier?

You are talking from my soul (don't know if you understand this idiom) -
i personally actually was afraid to ask this question.
4 dimensions are sort of beyond my imagination although I must admit that my imagination is limited.

Perhaps he's not from Earth and needs this kind of 4D math to allow him to travel back to his own dimension.

Anything's possible, right?

I've uploaded a new test release (20111212) to http://bricxcc.sourceforge.net/test_releases/

See if this version successfully compiles the 4-d array initialization code above. In theory, it should.
