Hi,
I have to declare a variable of type array/structure in my xdc file under
instance label so that the <module>_Params structure will contain the
structure/array variable.
But xdc is giving error saying that element should be statically
initialized. Can anybody know how to initialize the structure
variable/array declared under instance label with some default values? I
am using xdctools_3_15_00_50.
Regards,

The following Carr module generates an error because we require
_explicit_ initialization of all instance configs.
Although it may be possible to initialize these in the module's .xs
file, it requires accessing a structure we don't yet document. So,
instance configs should be _fully_ initialized in the .xdc file.
module CArr {
instance:
config int iarr[2]; // fails: due to lack of initial values
}
The following alternatives also fail:
config int iarr[2] = [0]; // fails: too few initial values
and
config int iarr[2] = [0,0,0]; // fails: too many initial values
But the following variants do work:
config int iarr[2] = [0,0]; // works: just the right number
and
config int iarr[] = [0, 0]; // works: same as above
So, there is really no reason to ever explicitly place a dimension in
the array. Doing so only makes it clearer to the reader how many
initial values appear in the initializer.

please let me know how to initialize arrays and structures in params
through xs file.

dave,
For example i have the following configuration in xdc file
config UInt32 ARR_SIZE = 2;
instance:
config UInt32 myArr[ARR_SIZE ]= [0,0] /* here normal procedure is to
initialize all the 2 elements. Suppose if ARR_SIZE is changed to a higher
value through the cfg file static initialization of myArr gives error. To
avoid this static initialization of myArr needs to be done some how
either in xs file or some other place.
why we need this type of declaration is application users does not like
to have pointers to which they have to declare variables and assign them
to pointers in Params.

Ravindranath Andela

If I understand what you're looking for, I don't believe it's possible.
It sounds like you want specify the size of a module instance's creation
parameters at configuration time. For example
Mod.xdc:
module Mod {
config Int ARR_SIZE = 2;
instance:
config Int myArr[ARR_SIZE] = [0, 0];
}
User's .cfg script:
var Mod = xdc.useModule("...Mod");
Mod.ARR_SIZE = 10;
User's .c code:
main() {
Mod_Params params;
Mod_Handle inst;
Mod_Params_init(¶ms);
for (i = 0; i < Mod_ARR_SIZE; i++) {
params.myArr[i] = i; /* ERROR: myArr has just 2 elements */
}
inst = Mod_create(¶ms, NULL);
}
But the .c file is, in general, compiled before the configuration script
is run. As a result, the space allocated by the compiler on the stack
for params (i.e., sizeof(Mod_Params)), can't change as the result of
configuration.
An alternative might be to "allocate" the array in the instance object
itself and allow the user to initialize this array via an instance
method, say Mod_initArray(). The params structure can be initialized to
a default array whose size and values are controlled by config
parameters. This makes the instance usable even if the user does not
call Mod_initArray().
User's .c code:
Int myArr[10] = [1, ...];
main() {
Mod_Params params;
Mod_Handle inst;
Mod_Params_init(¶ms);
inst = Mod_create(¶ms, NULL);
Mod_initArray(inst, myArr, sizeof(arr));
}
