Why following lines works in keil C51 compiler & not in armcc compiler

1.

Code ( (Unknown Language)):

1. const unsigned char me[] ={6,"my_lcd"};       // works fine in C51 compiler.

while in armcc compiler it gives error:

Code ( (Unknown Language)):

1. error:  #144: a value of type "char *" cannot be used to initialize an entity of type "const uint8_t"

2. How to get it done in armcc compiler also. I have writing decimal no in front to store how many characters a string will have


3. Also I wrote code (this is not keil ver specific):

Code ( (Unknown Language)):

1.  
2. const uint8_t *combine_data[6]        = {
3.                                                 {"INTERPRETATION"},
4.                                                 {"SINUS RHYTHM"},
5.                                                 {"AXIS(QRS)NORMAL"},
6.  
7.                                
8.                                         };
9.  
10. x = (uint8_t *)(combine_data[2] + 5);
11. (*x)++;                                 //[B]it is not incrementing value of x here[/B]
12.  
13.  

 

Ahhh...because not all compilers are implemented in the same way.

 

1. Try this:


const unsigned char[] = {4, 'H', 'I', 'Y', 'A'};

#3 is just a mess and x is undefined anyway.

 

Why it is mess

I have defined
uint8_t *x;
