I am taking a quick look at Tom's Simple Chess Program. Here's a snippet:
/* the initial board state */
int init_color[64] = {
1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1,
1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1,
6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6,
6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6,
6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6,
6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6,
0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0
};
Now, imagine you are trying to do this in OO-style. Say you have some class
State, and you want this to be inside of it.
So (in C++):
class State {
public:
// stuff
protected:
// more stuff
int init_color[64] = {
1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1,
1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1,
6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6,
6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6,
6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6,
6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6,
0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0
};
};
This, however, does not compile. (MSVC 6.0 reports error C2059, a syntax error
on the '{'. Presumably, the array initialization isn't allowed.)
Ideally, this array would be declared static and const as well.
What is wrong here? How can it be corrected?
