Maximum array depth about compiler HOT 5 CLOSED

Well, I've found the constant responsible for the maximum number of array dimensions:

https://github.com/Zeex/pawn/blob/master/source/compiler/sc.h#L53

I'm not sure if it would be sufficient to change its value alone, but the code compiled.

Is it practical to set it to something bigger than 4?

Be careful, I know SourceMod is using it and BAILOPAN said me it is kind of buggy.
Also, you might need this, which fixes some generation issue: https://hg.alliedmods.net/sourcemod-central/rev/ee044380947f
I don't know if there is others fixes around 4d+.
I'm just saying this will require likely some extended tests and fixes if you're allowing 4d+.

from compiler.

I've changed the max. number of dimensions to 4 for the sake of experiment, however that seems not enough because 4d array initialization doesn't quite work:

#include <a_samp>

new a[2][2][2][2] = {
    {
        {
            {1, 2}, {3, 4}
        },
        {
            {5, 6}, {7, 8}
        }
    },
    {
        {
            {11, 12}, {13, 14}
        },
        {
            {15, 16}, {17, 18}
        }
    }
};

main() {
    for (new i = 0; i < sizeof a; i++) {
        for (new j = 0; j < sizeof a[]; j++) {
            for (new k = 0; k < sizeof a[][]; k++) {
                for (new l = 0; l < sizeof a[][][]; l++) {
                    printf("a[%d][%d][%d][%d] = %d", i, j, k, l, a[i][j][k][l]);
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

will produce:

a[0][0][0][0] = 1
a[0][0][0][1] = 2
a[0][0][1][0] = 3
a[0][0][1][1] = 4
a[0][1][0][0] = 1 // should be 5
a[0][1][0][1] = 2 // should be 6
a[0][1][1][0] = 3 // should be 7
a[0][1][1][1] = 4 // should be 8
a[1][0][0][0] = 5 // should be 11
a[1][0][0][1] = 6 // should be 12
a[1][0][1][0] = 7 // should be 13
a[1][0][1][1] = 8 // should be 14
a[1][1][0][0] = 11 // should be 15
a[1][1][0][1] = 12 // should be 16
a[1][1][1][0] = 13 // should be 17
a[1][1][1][1] = 14 // should be 18

I don't know why compiler haven't complained so far, but currently there's a missing array info struct (you ported sc1.c changeset, but missed sc.h one). It prints correct values for me now

Edit: Or not. Still wrong values, argh
E2: It seems I've been looking at wrong file (current sc1 is not patched). Noice. With full patch it works properly, but I've got to reattach ellipsis for multi-dimension.

from compiler.

Ok, so it doesn't affect ellipsis as it resides in initials, but I was mislead by this thing: ellipsis only supports up to 2 dimensions? Full patch commited.
