Re: [avr-gcc-list] Initilizing complex const arrays : syntax ?

[Jesper Hansen]

It's just as before; one element at a time.
In this case, your element is the first structure :

struct param param_list[] = {
{ "Engine Speed", "RPM", "%4d" },
{ "Coolant Temp", "°C", "%3.1f" },
{ "Turbo Pressure", "Bar", "%2.1" },
{ e.t.c. },
{ NULL, NULL, NULL }
};

Note that as another example, I left out the length of the param_list,
you can detect the end by checking for the NULL pointers.
