[vJASS] Constants can't be used to give array size?

[sethmachine]

Hi,

I'm getting a "wrong [size]" error.

Here's the code:

library myLib
globals
  constant integer I = 10
  constant integer J = 10
endglobals

struct myStruct
integer array ij[I * J] //this gives the error
endstruct
endlibrary

This is perplexing, because I read in the manual you can use constants in arrays. I don't see why the arithmetic functions can't be used to compute the array size either...

Because JassHelper is bad.

Try

library myLib
globals
  constant integer I = 10
  constant integer J = 10
  constant integer K = I * J
endglobals

struct myStruct
integer array ij[K]
endstruct
endlibrary

Yep you can't give calculus for size of arrays.
You have to do the calculus outside and then give a number (int).
