Re: [Mspgcc-users] Why would mspgcc complain

[Paul F. Sehorne]

Yep...

I suppose the reason it worked with the quotes with the IAR compiler is 
because THIS_DEVICE_ADDRESS was in a (IAR) *.dat file not a C header 
file.  To port this I put it in a standard C header.

Thanks,
Paul

[code]

That's because your initializer is a string, and addr_t isn't a
string. It's a structure.
