The stock firmware supports multi-dimensional arrays but there is a bug in the
replace opcode which makes it impossible to replace an element in an array with
more than one dimension.
In NXC, due to the way the opcodes work in the standard firmware, you manipulate
elements in multi-dimensional arrays using a 3 step process. Here's code that
will work for what you are trying to do:
int onedarray[4], tmp[];
int twodarray[4][4];
task main()
{
onedarray[2] = 1;
// twodarray[2][2] = 1;
tmp = twodarray[2];
tmp[2] = 1;
twodarray[2] = tmp;
}
I am investigating possibly extending the NXC compiler so that it can handle the
syntax you were trying to use. I will have to just create thread-safe temporary
variables of the required type and dimension and generate the three statements
above whenever the compiler encounters the twodarray[2][2] = 1 syntax.
Hope this help,
John Hansen

| (...) Well, don't add the functionality on my account - I've redone my program a bit and now it doesn't need multi-dimensional arrays, and I think it's better this way anyways. Thanks for your help. Trevyn (18 years ago, 2-Apr-08, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)
