Well, this is telling you that mxp_support_flags has been declared two times with two different types at the lines given; you need to fix the declarations to be of the same type. First determine what the correct type is, then find the declaration with the wrong type and fix it.

You can only do compile-time initialization with compile-time constants. The syntax is deceptive as it makes it look like it's doing fancier and potentially dynamic initialization, but really it's just compile-time.

Contrast with this code:


$ cat test.c
typedef unsigned long long int u_int64;
typedef int             bool;

#define FALSE    0
#define TRUE     1

extern  const   struct  flag_type area_flags;
extern  const   struct  flag_type sex_flags;
extern  const   struct  flag_type exit_flags;

struct flag_type
{
    char *name;
    u_int64 bit;
    bool settable;
};

struct flag_stat_type
{
    const struct flag_type *structure;
    bool stat;
};

const struct flag_stat_type flag_stat_table[] =
{
    /*  {   structure       stat    }, */
    {   &area_flags,     FALSE   },
    {   &sex_flags,      TRUE    },
    {   &exit_flags,     FALSE   },
    {   0,          0   }
};

int main()
{
    return 0;
}


In this case, the compiler knows (at compile time, or more accurately at link time) what the address of those structures is, and therefore can (at compile/link time) insert the address into the initialization list.

But it still doesn't compile, although this time for other reasons: the structs are declared as extern but don't actually exist:

$ gcc test.c
/tmp/cc0GQVkE.o:(.rodata+0x0): undefined reference to `area_flags'
/tmp/cc0GQVkE.o:(.rodata+0x8): undefined reference to `sex_flags'
/tmp/cc0GQVkE.o:(.rodata+0x10): undefined reference to `exit_flags'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
$

No. Same results.

Anyway, as I said, even with the word "const" not appearing in the file at all, it still does it. There is something more subtle happening.

Try this?


extern  const   struct  flag_type * const area_flags;
extern  const   struct  flag_type * const sex_flags;
extern  const   struct  flag_type * const exit_flags;


Hopefully that should const-ize the pointer, which is the value that's really going in the array initializer.

Well this has me puzzled. This is a test program which reproduces the relevant parts:


typedef unsigned long long int u_int64;
typedef int             bool;

#define FALSE    0
#define TRUE     1

extern  const   struct  flag_type * area_flags;
extern  const   struct  flag_type * sex_flags;
extern  const   struct  flag_type * exit_flags;

struct flag_type
{
    char *name;
    u_int64 bit;
    bool settable;
};

struct flag_stat_type
{
    const struct flag_type *structure;
    bool stat;
};

const struct flag_stat_type flag_stat_table[] =
{
/*  {   structure       stat    }, */
    {   area_flags,     FALSE   },
    {   sex_flags,      TRUE    },
    {   exit_flags,     FALSE   },
    {   0,          0   }
};


Compiling that (gcc test.c) gives:


test.c:27: error: initializer element is not constant
test.c:27: error: (near initialization for ‘flag_stat_table[0].structure’)
test.c:28: error: initializer element is not constant
test.c:28: error: (near initialization for ‘flag_stat_table[1].structure’)
test.c:29: error: initializer element is not constant
test.c:29: error: (near initialization for ‘flag_stat_table[2].structure’)


Even if I get rid of every const (by doing a global change of "const" to "") I get the same error.

I tried adding in more const declarations here and there without success. Perhaps David Haley or some other C guru can cast some light on this?

Well I can reproduce the problem:


typedef unsigned long long int u_int64;

#define REMOVE_BIT(var, bit)    ((u_int64)(var) &= ~(u_int64)(bit))
#define Ox          0x0000400000000000ULL

#define COMM_TIMESTAMP      (Ox)

int main (void)
  {
  u_int64     comm;

  REMOVE_BIT(comm,COMM_TIMESTAMP);
  }


This test program gives:


test.c:12: error: lvalue required as left operand of assignment


Not quite sure why.

However this compiles OK:


typedef unsigned long long int u_int64;

#define REMOVE_BIT(var, bit)    ((var) &= ~(u_int64)(bit))
#define Ox          0x0000400000000000ULL

#define COMM_TIMESTAMP      (Ox)

int main (void)
  {
  u_int64     comm;

  REMOVE_BIT(comm,COMM_TIMESTAMP);
  }


If you get rid of the casts in merc.h it compiles with much less errors:


#define SET_BIT(var, bit)   ((var) |= (u_int64)(bit))
#define TOGGLE_BIT(var, bit)    ((var) ^= (u_int64)(bit))
#define REMOVE_BIT(var, bit)    ((var) &= ~(u_int64)(bit))


After that is only one error (for this particular file) on this line:


    if (ch->pcdata->spousename && ch->pcdata->spousename[0] !='\0') sprintf(spouse,ch->pcdata->spousename);


Try changing that to:


    if (ch->pcdata->spousename && ch->pcdata->spousename[0] !='\0') sprintf(spouse, "%s", ch->pcdata->spousename);


I still get some errors after that, but this is at least past the part that was troubling you before.

Milo said:

i have tryed 


#include <compile.h>
and yes when i tried it this way i did move a copy of the compile in the src folder 

and 

#include "../compile.h"




My first comment is, after looking at the source, that compile.h is in the *same* directory, so change:


#include "../compile.h"


to:


#include "compile.h"


That gets rid of that error.
