Why do I get an error about the initializer not being a constant?

Question

I am using the following code.

const int X_ORIGIN = 1233086;             
const int Y_ORIGIN = -4728071;              
const int Z_ORIGIN = 4085704;
const in         


        

Answer 1

I'm not a proper programmer ;) but I'd do this:

#define X_ORIGIN (1233086)
#define Y_ORIGIN (-4728071)
#define Z_ORIGIN (4085704)
const int xyzOrigin[NUM_DIMENSIONS] = {X_ORIGIN, Y_ORIGIN, Z_ORIGIN};

That way it's just a text-substitution. If the compiler still spits the dummy at least you're a step closer to knowing where the issue is.
