#121176 - thx, but Responding to: ???'s previous message |
1. since all your fields seem to be U8, instead of a structure, use a two-dimensional array, with symbolic constants (#define or enum) to access the individual fields of each sign; eg,
all_signs[sign_number][SER_NUM] Not useful, it exist in two places at the sign (one) at the controller (many). Also, this would oblitterate the advantage of a fixed 256 size. The advantage is there, describing it would be lenghty 2. use a union, with a "dummy" 256-byte array just to fix the size ` elegant, but will lead to code not much more straight than what I have.

| Confused! | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| the original question is \"can you define a struct | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| Possible in theory, but the code looks strange | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| figured the dummy out myself but that is the road | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| Doesn\'t have to look strange | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| got it, thanks | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| Aside - structure addressing | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| which is the case in one of the instances | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
nameless struct member | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| union of structs | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
