'strlen' of a constant string
In a declaration, I have:
const char comment_begin[] = "<!--";
const char comment_end[] = "-->";
const int comment_begin_len = strlen(comment_begin);
const int comment_end_len = strlen(comment_end);
When I compile, I get the warnings:
emhttpc.c:64: warning: initializer element is not constant
emhttpc.c:64: warning: (near initialization for ‘comment_begin_len')
emhttpc.c:65: warning: initializer element is not constant
emhttpc.c:65: warning: (near initialization for ‘comment_end_len')
Taking the 'const' doesn't make any difference. I could use 'sizeof', but it gives one greater than the length (is it counting a null terminator?). I'm not sure why it says it's not constant as I'm doing a strlen on a pair of constant strings, so their length can't change.

hello,
i have a problem with strlen. I have written this:
for(y=13,z=0; cInBuf!=' ';y++)
{
cBuf=cInBuf;
z++;
}
len = strlen(cBuf);
out=len/2;
fprintf(outfile,"F%i",out);
If strlen is e.g. 22, it write F22. I want to write F2F2.
How can i do this?... (5 Replies)

My OS (Debian) and gcc use the UTF-8 locale. This code says that the char size is 1 byte but the size of 'a' is really 4 bytes.

I wonder string constant exists permanently or temporary.
For example,
printf("hello, world");
the function printf access to it is through a pointer. Does it mean storage is allocated for the string constant to exist permanently in memory? :confused: (4 Replies)

echo constant("MAXSIZE"); // same thing as the previous line
interface bar {
const test = 'foobar!';
}
class foo {
const test = 'foobar!';
}
$const = 'test';
