error: expected ':', ',', ';', '}' or '__attribute__' before '=' token

[krish_kumar]

After compiling the code given below the following error shows.... main.c:4: error: expected ':', ',', ';', '}' or '__attribute__' before '=' token #include struct struct_keywords { char c_keywords[6][10] = {"int", "char", "static" , /* ERROR SHOWS HERE */ "struct", "union", "return"}; }; typedef struct struct_keywords kewords_t; int main(int argc ,char *argv) { kewords_t *struct_ptr; return 0; } What may be the error ????? With regards

Your initialisers should be outside of the struct definition thus:

struct struct_keywords
{
char c_keywords[6][10];
} mystruct =
{
"int", "char", "static",
"struct", "union", "return"
};

[CODEPC]

int main(int argc ,char *argv)
{

kewords_t struct_ptr;

struct_ptr.c_keywords = {"int", "char", "static" , "struct", "union", "return"};

}

This is not correct, for a start struct_ptr has not been initialised to point to anything. I always try compiling my code suggestions before posting here.
