[Sdcc-user] Trouble with static data in arrays

[Scott B. <br...@ri...>]

I'm having trouble declaring static data for my USB device.
I need to enter some Unicode strings as part of a descriptor. 
No problem, right?

typedef struct {
    BYTE    length;
    BYTE    type;
    BYTE    unicode_data[];
} StringDescriptor;


const StringDescriptor StringDscr1 = {
    STRING_DESCRIPTOR,
    sizeof(StringDscr1),
    {
        'M', 0,
        'y', 0,
        'M', 0,
        'f', 0,
        'r', 0,
    }
};


The problem is, this is what results:

   0058                     153 _StringDscr1:
   0058 03                  154     .db #0x03
   0059 02                  155     .db #0x02
   005A 43                  156     .db #0x43
   005B 00                  157     .db #0x00


Only the first two characters make it into the array.  The
rest is truncated.  If I put a really large value into the
array, it's zero-padded out to the declared size of the
array.  I can't use pointers because, of course, I don't have
control over the format of the descriptor.

What can I do?  Am I hosed?  After spending time setting
up the C templates, I don't want to resort to assembly
language db statements.  :)
