When encountering the error message “sorry, unimplemented: non-trivial designated initializers not supported,” it means that the C or C++ compiler being used does not support the use of designated initializers in a certain way.
Designated initializers allow specifying particular elements of an array or struct to be initialized with specific values. They are supported by some compilers as an extension to the C or C++ standard.
Example:
#include <stdio.h>
typedef struct Person {
int age;
char name[20];
} Person;
int main() {
// Using designated initializers
Person john = {.age = 25, .name = "John Doe"};
printf("Name: %s, Age: %d\n", john.name, john.age);
return 0;
}
In this example, we define a struct called “Person” with two members: “age” and “name.” We then use designated initializers to initialize the “john” variable with specific values for each member. Finally, we print the values of the “name” and “age” members using the printf function.
If you encounter the error “sorry, unimplemented: non-trivial designated initializers not supported,” it means that the compiler being used does not support this specific usage of designated initializers. You may need to use a different approach to achieve the desired initialization or switch to a compiler that supports this feature.
