Hello everybody,
I have some structures in my program, where I could save some space by
overlapping them.
See this example:
char *yes_no_auto[]= { "auto", "yes", "no" };
char *yes_no[]= { "yes", "no" };
I know that gcc should fold identical strings in the binary; but if it's
not just strings, but entire structs, this won't help.
Now I wanted to use
char *yes_no_auto[]= { "auto", "yes", "no" };
char *yes_no[]=yes_no_auto+1;
but that doesn't work:
test.c:2: error: invalid initializer
I found that this would work:
char *yes_no_auto[]= { "auto", "yes", "no" };
char **yes_no=yes_no_auto+1;
But that won't allow me to use sizeof(yes_no)/sizeof(yes_no[0]) to obtain
the number of elements.
Using "const" doesn't help either.
Any help?
Thank you very much!
Regards,
Phil
