My understanding is that the original, C99 syntax*, allows one to populate "sparse"
arrays, based on constants or enums. This means as the constants or enums change value during
development, you are not left with arrays that have been defined with values at implicit offsets
(which is what priming the array with an initial bogus value of "" is doing), resulting
in things starting to come down in flames because of access to incorrect array indices.

I have to manually create the config.h file, and compile the code

At the moment, I got the following error from the MSVC compiler:
D:\projects\harmony-jcvm\jcvm\libjc\jc_invoke.c(81) : error C2059:
syntax error : '['
which refers to the following declaration:
/* Map command line option to VM args property */
static const char *const jc_opt2prop[] = {
[OPT_CLASSPATH]= JAVA_CLASS_PATH,
[OPT_LIBRARYPATH]= JAVA_LIBRARY_PATH,
[OPT_BOOTCLASSPATH]= JAVA_BOOT_CLASS_PATH
};
Got any suggestion in order for me to proceed?
try:

static const char *const jc_opt2prop[] = {
"",
JAVA_CLASS_PATH,
JAVA_LIBRARY_PATH,
JAVA_BOOT_CLASS_PATH
};

But that is a very bad work-around!
Hi Jean-frederic,
the work-around you suggested me, works!
Could you please tell me why you consider it "bad"?
ciao,
Enrico
