Hi Mike,
I also use multi-dimensional arrays without problems, however, my main programmer coded an algorithm Fall 2003 using a multi-dimensional array in ram to empirically develop some constant values. When he simply changed the declaration to rom after fixing his constants the code choked. No dynamic allocation of memory (especially since it was in rom
).
I don’t remember the details (it was almost a year ago), and don't think those details are germaine to poor scitobor here
. When I debugged the problem I did change how his code used pointer arithmetic, but only because his particular application ran into an odd compiler bug. It generated incorrect assembly (no he wasn’t optimizing – I knew you guys reading this were thinking that). It’s probably gone from the latest version shipped with the KOP this year.
Hence the caution and suggestion that one might benefit from testing a simplified skeleton of an algorithm using rom multi-dimensional arrays. I consider that good practice for the students in any case.
