  1. POC dynamic array initialization problem
    text
    copied!<p>I'm having a problem initializing an array of structs in my C program. Here's the function where it gets initialized:</p> <pre><code>void InitializeBPStructures() { SatCounterTable = (struct SatCounterTableEntry *)malloc(sizeof(struct SatCounterTableEntry) * Counter_Count); } </code></pre> <p><code>Counter_Count</code> is an integer global variable and <code>SatCounterTable</code> is declared earlier in the C source file as </p> <pre><code>static struct SatCounterTableEntry* SatCounterTable; </code></pre> <p>and if it's relevant this is my <code>SatCounterTable struct</code></p> <pre><code>struct SatCounterTableEntry { enum SatCounter_State Predict_State; md_addr_t tag; }; </code></pre> <p><code>md_addr_t</code> is just a label for an <code>unsigned int</code> corresponding to a memory address</p> <p>The problem is that when I try and compile, I get the following error</p> <pre><code>sim-safe.c:129: error: expected expression before ‘=’ token </code></pre> <p>And the array initialization in my <code>IntitializeBPStructures()</code> is on line 129. I'm not sure why this line is a problem. Any ideas?</p> <p>EDIT:</p> <p>Here's some additional lines of code around the function</p> <pre><code> struct SatCounterTableEntry { enum SatCounter_State Predict_State; md_addr_t tag; }; /* simulated registers */ static struct regs_t regs; /* simulated memory */ static struct mem_t *mem = NULL; /* track number of refs */ static counter_t sim_num_refs = 0; /* maximum number of inst's to execute */ static unsigned int max_insts; static struct SatCounterTableEntry* SatCounterTable; void InitializeBPStructures() { SatCounterTable = (struct SatCounterTableEntry *)malloc(sizeof(struct SatCounterTableEntry) * Counter_Count); } void BranchPredict(md_addr_t PC, md_addr_t nextPC, enum Branch_Result result) { if (result == N) sim_num_mispred_static++; if (result != (myrand() % 2)) sim_num_mispred_random++; sim_num_br++; } </code></pre>
