Blocks RAM in HandelC

[Gerardo Sosa]

I want to test the example in page 217 of DK2 Handel-C Language
Reference Manual.

-------
ram unsigned 8 RAM1[4] = {0,1,2,3} with {block="BlockRAM"};
ram unsigned 8 RAM2[4] with {block="BlockRAM"};
signal s;
unsigned x;
unsigned i;
while(1)
{
par
{
s = RAM1;
RAM2 = s;
x = s;
i++;
}
}
-------

BUt it doesn't compile, I get the following error: Illegal
initializer. I suppose that I can't initialize the RAM, then why
Celoxica give examples that doesn't works? or what's missing?

Thanks

Gerardo

i is used before it is set. Maybe
unsigned i = 0;
as the declaration.

Thanks Steve, but I don't think that this be the error, because the
error put the cursor in the line:
ram unsigned 8 RAM1[4] = {0,1,2,3} with {block="BlockRAM"};


Anyway I probed:

unsigned i=0;

and

unsigned i;
i=0;

But, both either don't work.

all you need to do is add the static keyword to the ram declaration
