Creating dynamic array in code composer

Michael Robertson

I am trying to create a dynamic array of 84 elements. The syntax I am using it does not like for some reason. My code works in Microsoft visual c++ but not in code composer. Here is my code.

int size = 84;
   int *array = new int[size];

   // Put something in the array
   for ( int y = 0; y < size; y++ )
   array[y] = x;

for some reason it doesn't like the 'new int[size]' part.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

The first possible error I see in your code is that you did not declare a type for "new"

but you try to declare a pointer to "new int[size]"

Also, "int" is a type in C, so code composer might be thinking you are trying to use "int" as a variable name.

Here's how I've done it in CCS...

const int size = 32;

float (*D) = new float [size];

Hi Michael!

Check please the following project option: "Properties>Build>Linker>Basic Options>Heap size C/C++ dynamic memory allocation". Perhaps you need to increase Heap size. Also I would recommend you this link http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Stack_and_Heap_size_requirements
