#bit into an array?

[Will Reeve]

Never had to do it before but I would like to do the following:
BYTE address, i2creceivedata[5], i2csenddata[5];
#bit iRun = i2csenddata[4].0
#bit iError = i2csenddata[4].1

I can't see a reason why this isn't possible as the compiler must know where the array is stored. Is there a good robust workaround?

This works, but it seems a little messy.

What this does is:
- Declare the array
- Set a fixed address for it
- Identify an element and its address
- Declare a bit in that element

Maybe there's some easier way to do it, but I don't have time to work
on this any more.

Thanks, looks a very neat solution to me. I was using up precious code to do this with variables.

As a comment, you don't need to locate the array, the compiler already knows where it is, and can do the offset in the same line as the bit location.
So:

I also tend to build structures so I don't worry about the big location when modifying it... only when creating the structure.

From there, I can spit out the entire struct or plunk around in it by names.
