GCC error: array type has incomplete element type

I'm trying to build a module table for my application.

/*** MODULE TABLE DEFINTION ***/ 
struct ModuleInfo
{
 char use_module;     // 0 = don't use, 1 = use, -1 for end of list
 char module_name[64];    // english name of module
 int(*module_init)(void);   // module initialization callback
 void(*module_tick)(void);   // module tick callback
 void(*module_end)(void);   // module end callback
 void *config_table;     // config table
};

/*** MODULE TABLE ***/
const struct ModuleTable module_table[] = {
 {
  1, "GPS/NMEA over RS232",
  gps_nmea_rs232_init,
  gps_nmea_rs232_tick, 
  gps_nmea_rs232_end,
  NULL
 },
 // end ta开发者_Go百科ble
 {
  -1, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL
 } 
};

The table stores a list of modules, with pointers to initialization, tick and termination functions to be called at appropriate intervals.

I am building this using MPLAB C30, which is a version of GCC 3.23 (I think?) for specific PIC microcontrollers.

However when I try to compile this, I get:

In file included from main.c:3:

modules.h:67: error: array type has incomplete element type

The table should be const if possible because I have lots of (edit: ROM) spare and not much (edit: RAM) spare. I cannot figure out why this is not working.

Actually that is the problem...

declaring

const struct ModuleTable module_table[] = ...

is a valid C construct without defining struct ModuleTable explicitly; which is why your code is failing, change that line to say

const struct ModuleInfo module_table[] = ... 

---

{
  -1, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL
 } 

is missing a value, isn't it? I count six fields in the struct.
