How do you make an in-place construction of a struct casted to array compile in Visual C++ 2008?
- by Irwin1138
I'm working with quite a big codebase which compiles fine in linux but vc++ 2008 spits errors.
The problem code goes like this:
Declaration:
typedef float vec_t;
typedef vec_t vec2_t[2];
The codebase is littered with in-place construction like this one:
(vec2_t){0, divs}
Or more complex:
(vec2_t){ 1/(float)Vid_GetScreenW(), 1/(float)Vid_GetScreenH()}
As far as I know, this code constructs a struct, then converts it to an array and passes the address to the function. I personally never used in-place construction like this so I have no clue how to make this one work.
I don't maintain the linux build, only the windows one. And I can't get it to compile. Is there some switch, some macro to make vc++ compile it?
Maybe there is a similar nifty way to construct those arrays and pass them to the functions in-place that compiles just fine in vc++?
