struct with const string

Hello,


Looking for a solution to take something like:

const TCHAR StrArrayZ[]=_T("Item1\0Item2\0Item3\0");

and convert it to something like:

#include <align1.h>

struct {
union {
const TCHAR StrArrayZ[1];
struct {
const TCHAR I1[]=_T("Item1");
const TCHAR I2[]=_T("Item2");
const TCHAR I3[]=_T("Item3");
const TCHAR Z[]=_T("");
}s;
} u;
} SItems;

#include <alignend.h>

So I could replace the original StrArrayZ with SItems.u.StrArrayZ, but
could also deference each item directly via SItems.u.s.I1, etc

Is it possible to use the compiler to do it similar to above???

TIA!!

What does that line do? Neither TCHAR or _T are standard C.

and convert it to something like:

union {
const TCHAR StrArrayZ[1];
struct {
const TCHAR I1[]=_T("Item1");

const TCHAR I3[]=_T("Item3");
const TCHAR Z[]=_T("");
}s;
} u;
} SItems;

You'd have to write your own code generator.

Yikes. align1.h? struct union const TCHAR? This is C salad.
