Statement too complex question ..

[shaldan]

I would like to know the limitations in declaration. I would like to declare an array of floats for some geometry purposes to:

Code Select Expand


.data
kostka real4              -1.0,-1.0,1.0,1.0,-1.0,1.0,1.0,1.0,1.0,-1.0,
                               1.0,0.0 ...etc. etc.


but after 36th element of array I get error A2042: statement too complex. And the question is if is there a way to handle this without
storing these values in a file and read it from it ...

thanks ...

Same rule for db same for any type

Code Select Expand


.data
    kostka real4 -1.0,-1.0,......,-1.0
           real4 -1.0,-1.0,......,-1.0
           real4 -1.0,-1.0,......,-1.0
           real4 -1.0,-1.0,......,-1.0
           real4 -1.0,-1.0,......,-1.0

thank you .. actually I tried this before, but there is another problem. I would to use SIZEOF and when I declare:

Code Select Expand


kostka1     real4     -1.0,-1.0,1.0,1.0,-1.0,1.0,1.0,1.0,1.0
real4 -1.0,1.0,1.0,-1.0,-1.0,-1.0,-1.0,1.0,-1.0
real4 1.0,1.0,-1.0,1.0,-1.0,-1.0,-1.0,1.0,-1.0
real4 -1.0,1.0,1.0,1.0,1.0,1.0,1.0,1.0,-1.0
real4 -1.0,-1.0,-1.0,1.0,-1.0,-1.0,1.0,-1.0,1.0
real4 -1.0,-1.0,1.0,1.0,-1.0,-1.0,1.0,1.0,-1.0
real4 1.0,1.0,1.0,1.0,-1.0,1.0,-1.0,-1.0,-1.0
real4 -1.0,-1.0,1.0,-1.0,1.0,1.0,-1.0,1.0,-1.0


then SIZEOF kostka1 returns 36 instead .. and I of course need 9x8x4=288 ...
any redeclarations available ? :)) .. (Hope I understand well SIZEOF)

You are out of luck with SIZEOF as it is designed to work on a single line. There is a trick though, put a dummy variable after your 32 bit float data and subtract the start address of your data from the dummy variable. That will give you the byte count.

 :U thank you very much Hutch--, this is perfect...

This will set a numeric equate and a dword variable to the total number of bytes allocated.
