2-Dimensions Array as a parameter - Suspicious pointer conversion

[renew]

Hi, folks
I have a 2 dimensions array like this

Code: Select all

const char sound_menu[3] [13] = {
   {"SOUND + VIBR"},
   {"   SOUND    "},
   {" VIBRATION  "}
   };

When i transfer the second dimension into function

Code: Select all

Write_String(62, 7, sound_menu[sound_menu_index]);

I obtain this message

308 1505 Suspicious pointer conversion main.c

I tried to use pointers but every time I got some kind messages or errors. Not enough knoweleges.
Please help.

Function prototype:

Code: Select all

void Write_String(unsigned char xposition, unsigned char yposition, char *);
void Write_String(char xposition, char yposition, char *string){
............

Hi,

You can omit one dimension but in that case, empty parentheses are necessary.

In the Help section of your compiler you can see this example:

Thank you for the reply
I can't omit some some dimesion because I transfer all the first dimension as a string so I must to show second dimension

I tried this

Code: Select all

Write_String(62, 7, sound_menu[sound_menu_index][]);

Result

308 315 Invalid expression main.c

Hi,

You can not omit dimensions in the function call.

Here is one way to use a multi-dimensional array:

You can use this function declaration as well:
void Write_String(unsigned char xposition, unsigned char yposition, char* string)


Kind regards,

Hi.
Sorry for the late answer.
In this case we have
1508 Implicit conversion of int to ptr main.c

Your example has the same error.

Hi,

I tried it with NECTO Studio and the PIC32 AI Compiler. So the results might be a little bit different.
First, I would suggest to use pointer to string like this

Code: Select all

char *sound_menu[] = {
    "SOUND + VIBR",
    "   SOUND    ",
    " VIBRATION  "
} ;

The call might be change to this

Code: Select all

Write_String(62, 7, sound_menu[sound_menu_index]);

Function prototype like this

Code: Select all

void Write_String(char xposition, char yposition, char *string) ;

I got no error messages or warning, but haven't tested if it is functional ok.
