Minimal working (or should I say non-working example)...
#include <stdio.h>
int main () {
int istest=1;
char op[8] = (istest?"ef":"df");
/*char op[8] = "ef";*/
printf("op=%s\n",op); }
for which cc emits the error...
test.c: In function 'main':
test.c:4:16: error: invalid initializer
4 | char op[8] = (istest?"ef":"df");
| ^
But if I comment out that line and uncomment the one below it,
then it compiles and runs fine. I've used this construction
a million times without problems. But a-million-and-one seems
to somehow be a problem. What's wrong???
