short array in typedef struct in Objective-C

Question

typedef struct
{
short data[];

short sampleData[];

BOOL sample[];

}customMembers;

I declared like this but I am getting error like following

"Filed has incomplete type short[]"

Please help me

@Antzi I understand the difference. But I want to use Java short[] array in Objective-c. What is the equivalent in Objective-c? — iOS_Dev iOS, Dec 12 '14 at 09:29

You must provide a length like this short data[42] for your arrays or define it as a pointer short *.

If not, the size of the struct would be unknown.

See C: differences between char pointer and array for more informations about the difference between the two.

@iOS_DeviOS Yes, Objective C is a super set of C. Any C code can be compiled and used from objective C. – Antzi Dec 12 '14 at 09:10
Thanks for your comment. I am unable to accept your answer. – iOS_Dev iOS Dec 12 '14 at 09:12
@iOS_DeviOS I think you need some time before accepting... Or maybe the down vote prevent new users to do it. – Antzi Dec 12 '14 at 09:14
Thanks alot. So, short * and short[] both are equal. is that correct? – iOS_Dev iOS Dec 12 '14 at 09:16
@iOS_DeviOS No: They retain the same difference as in C, see the link in the updated answer. – Antzi Dec 12 '14 at 09:19
