As far as I can tell, if you use this initialization syntax, you

have to do it in the same statement as the declaration of box[].

Since you can't do that inside the class declaration, you'll have

to use another syntax.



Try this (a smaller version, I'm *not* going to retype all of the

above mess ):



struct cell {char ch;unsigned int attr:8;};



class frame

{

  private:

    cell box[5];

  public:

    frame();

};



frame::frame()

{

  unsigned int j[5] = {1,2,3,4,5};

  char c[6] = {"abcde"}; // note 1 char bigger to allow for \0

  int i;

  for(i=0;i<5;i++)

  {

    box[i].ch   = j[i];

    box[i].attr = c[i];

  }

};



Cheers
