ARM Keil error #17 expected a "]", C3910W: Old syntax

Question

Hi I am trying to build a program on Keil μVision v.5.12.

The errors seems to be only "one" (expecting a ]) . But the code works (compiles and runs without err/warnings) on my linux partition.

Rebuild target 'Target 1'

What did i do wrong? (am i forgeting anything setting up my keil project?, perhaps a .h? or is the [0 ... dimension] declaring my matrices? )

Answer 1

As interjay put it in the comments, you are using a C extension specific to gcc and not compatible on Keil.

From gcc documentation:

To initialize a range of elements to the same value, write ‘[first ... last] = value’. This is a GNU extension. For example,

int widths[] = { [0 ... 9] = 1, [10 ... 99] = 2, [100] = 3 };
