Can't push_back with custom struct.
MubinMuhammad opened this issue · comments
I have this "complex" data structure and cvector()
-ing it doesn't show any error (as it's just "type *"), error happens when i try to cvector_push_back()
. Here's the code:
struct complex {
const char *compiler;
const char *program_name;
const char *program_type;
};
cvector(struct complex) test_var = NULL;
/*
* give me this error: "to many arguments provided to function-like macro invocation"
* (by the way i'm using clangd)
*/
cvector_push_back(test_var, (struct complex){"gcc", "something"});
// gives the same error
cvector_push_back(test_var, (struct complex){
.compiler = "gcc",
.program_name = "something"
});
I hope it's an easy problem to fix, Thanks.
So, the problem is that (struct complex){"gcc", "something"}
has a comma in it.
C's macro parser is pretty naive and doesn't deal with this well. I'll see if there is a workaround, but the simplest thing you can do is just something like this:
struct complex {
const char *compiler;
const char *program_name;
const char *program_type;
};
int main() {
cvector(struct complex) test_var = NULL;
struct complex c = {
.compiler = "gcc",
.program_name = "something"};
cvector_push_back(test_var, c);
return 0;
}
Aha! just needed an extra paranthesis!
struct complex {
const char *compiler;
const char *program_name;
const char *program_type;
};
int main() {
cvector(struct complex) test_var = NULL;
cvector_push_back(test_var, ((struct complex){"gcc", "something"}));
return 0;
}
