Can you be more specific? Is this question different from the previous
thread (copied below)?

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));
}
