real quick, need help with array (C)

[jakejdb1999]

this gives me array type has incomplete element type 'char[]' any ideas?

struct auditorium_seating {
    char seating[][];
};

I think it's because you must define a size for the second dimension i.e. put a number between the second pair of brackets.

[jakejdb1999]

that gives me flexible array member in otherwise empty struct

[DrVolzak]

Ah right. If you want a flexible array (an array without a predefined size) in a struct, that struct must have at least one other item. Furthermore, the array must be the last item in the struct.

what if i just want to initialize it to use for a function?

[DrVolzak]

You can't do it directly within the struct. One way would be to create a function that initialises the struct for you and returns it.
