LCD and array

[ascomm]

Hi
I have a strange problem with this program what I can't figure out.
Compiler says: "Cannot generate code for expression."
I use mikroC version 2.0.0.3.

Code: Select all

void main()
{
  char *text = "The Caretaker";
  char *teksti[] = "Team MDA";
  char txt;
  int i;
  TRISB = 0;                // PORTB asetetaan lähdöksi
  Lcd_Init(&PORTB);         // Alustetaan LCD
  Lcd_Cmd(Lcd_CLEAR);       // Tyhjennetään näyttö
  Lcd_Cmd(Lcd_CURSOR_OFF);  // Kursori pois
  Lcd_Out(1, 1, text);      // Tulostetaan näyttöön, 1. rivi, 1. sarake
  Lcd_Cmd(Lcd_RETURN_HOME); // Kursori kotiin

  for (i = 0; i < 8; i++)        // Pyöritään kahdeksan silmukkaa
  {
    txt = teksti[i];
    delay_ms(1000);              // Sekunnin viive
    Lcd_Chr(2, i+4, txt);      // Tulostetaan 2.riville kohtaan i+4
  }

}

Ok. Problem solved.
There was one extra * in front of teksti[].

BTW. I found one bug in IDE.
Line/column -column doesn't work correctly in "Messages" -window.

Is it when linker throws a message or when compiler complains about something?

Hmm... here is a screen capture.



Line/column says 2:4, but I dont see anything wrong on line two column four.

Code: Select all

1
2 void main()
     ^

Does it show the correct line no when you double click the error message?

Hmmm, I do not have mikroC at the moment, but you can try to put the brace just after void main():

Code: Select all

  void main(){
  ....
  }

Yes, that seems to correct the 'Line/column' -column. Now the "MessagesWnd" shows 5:1 which is more like it.
The error in question is caused by the * -character before teksti[].
