Fill array in C style

Thanks to all for examples. I thought that it is can be done only with generating array/sequence during compile time. @xigoi Sorry, it's my error, you are right. Non zero fill initialization in C really possible only in runtime. Or I must use GCC extension or doing filling sequence with preproc

Fill array in C style

By the way, the C code you provided doesn't actually fill the array with 500; it sets the first element to 500 and fills the rest with zeroes.

Fill array in C style

For clarity this does not require a template, a procedure works fine: proc initArray[T](size: static int, value: T): array[size, T] = for ele in result.mitems: ele = value const arr = initArray(10, 500) const arr2 = initArray(5, "hey") proc mai

Fill array in C style

Not sure if there is a better/easier way, but this will only fill the array at compile time: template initArray[T](size: static int, value: T): untyped = block: var res: array[size, T] for i in 0 ..< res.len: res[i] = value res const a

Fill array in C style

Hello. Can Nim fill array with same value (not zero) while defining array? I know about `fill` method in standard library, but it is initialization in runtime (instead of creating static filled memory blocks in pre pre main by compiler). int array[10] = {500}; int main() {
