linux c编译报错：error: invalid application of ‘sizeof‘ to incomplete type ‘struct slave_readWrite_def[]‘

编译报错：error: invalid application of ‘sizeof’ to incomplete type ‘struct slave_readWrite_def[]’

原因：
sizeof不能用在extern变量
sizeof 的计算发生在代码编译 的时刻
extern 标注的符号 在链接的时刻解析
所以 sizeof 不知道 这个符号到底占用了多少空间

config.c

slave_readWrite_def slave_coil_readWrite[] = {
    {0, i_readwrite},
    {1, o_read},
};

`
main.c

int main()
{
    int i = 0, ret = 0;
    int len_coil = sizeof(slave_coil_readWrite)/sizeof(slave_coil_readWrite[0]);
 
}

解决方式：
定义的地方多定义一个变量计算长度
config.c

slave_readWrite_def slave_coil_readWrite[] = {
    {0, i_readwrite},
    {1, o_read},
};

int len_coils = sizeof(slave_coil_readWrite)/sizeof(slave_coil_readWrite[0]);

main.c

int main()
{
    int i = 0, ret = 0;
    int len_coil = len_coils;
 
}
