Create readonly array of data ?

Show all headers | View raw

Please excuse my very poor English, I hope you understand my question.

I want to create a readonly array of data, then a readonly array of a
structure (STRUCT). This is data I access but I want it protected against
accidental change. The following is my test code.

#include "stdafx.h"

struct LVC
{
   unsigned short int lo;
   unsigned short int hi;

};

void main()
{
   //This seems to work
   static const unsigned short int LV[4] =
   {0xAC00,
    0xAC1C,
    0xAC38,
    0xAC54 };

   //THIS DOESN'T WORK. COMPILER COMPLAINS
   static const struct LVC[4] = {
      { 0xAC01, 0xAC1B },
      { 0xAC1D, 0xAC37 },
      { 0xAC39, 0xAC53 },
      { 0xAC55, 0xAC6F },
   };

    unsigned short i,j;

    i = LVC[2].lo;
    j = LVC[2].hi;

}

I use Microsoft Visual C++ Express Edition
(I also would like to get rid of that #include "stdafx.h" if
there is some compiler configuration that will allow me
to do that.)

Thank you.
