Inline initialization of a struct containing a string array

Hi!

   Is it possible to inline initialize a struct whose one member is a st=
ring
array of arbitrary length (terminated w/ a NULL ptr)? What I mean is  =

something like this:


typedef struct {
   char** x ;
   int y ;
} Foo ;

static const Foo myfoos[] =3D {
     { { "hello", "world", NULL }, 12 },
     { NULL, 0 }
} ;


   This produces warnings (from mingw gcc) for line w/ "hello" on it:

   "initialization from incompatible pointer type"
   "excess elements in scalar initializer"
   "braces around scalar initializer"

   So obviously this is not the way to do it, or I am missing something =
 =

here? Is
this possible at all?


   It works fine if I define the first struct memeber as char* x[ 3 ] ; =
but  =

that
is not what I'm after - I need arbitrary length char* arrays.


   As a last resort, I can do the initialization in the beginning of mai=
n
(i.e. just myfoos[0].x =3D ptrToFirstStrArray ; // ...), but that's not =
very  =

pretty...

   Ps. I did consider "multistrings", e.g. "hello\0world\0", but that wo=
uld  =

be inconsistent w/ the presentation of array of string values used in  =

other parts of the program.
