Title: Output C89 data from dir2c.tcl
Status: Open Type: Code Defect
Severity: Minor Priority: Low
Subsystem: KitDLL (The libTclkit Core) Resolution: Open
Last Modified: 2020-05-11 16:42:39

Description:
Dear Sean,

thank you for great C-VFS. I am trying to get it working by little steps.
There might be a wiki recipe on success for the medium programmer of this wizard program.

Just a note. TCL and Metakit is normally C89 clean. The output of dir2c.tcl is not, as it uses this style of initialization:

<verbatim>
static struct cvfs_data cvfs_tcl_data[] = {
    {
        /* Index 0 cannot be used because we use the value 0 to represent failure */
        .name  = NULL,
        .index = 0,
        .type  = 0,
        .size  = 0,
        .data  = NULL,
        .free  = 0,
    },
</verbatim>

Unfortunately, C89 does not allow to name the structure items.
The patch below transforms this output into:

<verbatim>
static struct cvfs_data cvfs_tcl_data[] = {
    {
        /* Index 0 cannot be used because we use the value 0 to represent failure */
        /* name  */ NULL,
        /* index */ 0,
        /* type  */ 0,
        /* size  */ 0,
        /* data  */ NULL,
        /* free  */ 0,
    },
</verbatim>

Here is the patch:

Sorry, the patch has the issue, that the two members "type" and "size" are mixed up. Here is a corrected patch:

Thanks !  The replacement for C-VFS is called XVFS by the way:
