Re: Initialization of nested flexible array members

Hi Alexandre,

You could try this:

#define DECLARE_MY_STRUCT(len) \
typedef struct { \
  char a; \
  char b; \
  int flexo[len]; \
} EnclosedStruct_##len; \
typedef struct { \
  int a; \
  int b; \
  EnclosedStruct s; \
} MyStruct_##len;

DECLARE_MY_STRUCT(3);

int main(int argc, char * argv[])
{
    MyStruct_3 toto = { 10, 20, { 'a', 'b', { 0, 1, 2, 3 } } };
}

If you need to pass a MyStruct_3 to a routine taking a MyStruct*, you can cast it to a MyStruct.

HTH,
