CatComp array

I never liked CatComp's source output files. On OS4 I am trying to use it "as is". But I can't get it to compile quite right.

In my protos_globals.h file:

extern struct CatCompArrayType
{
    LONG           cca_ID;
    CONST_STRPTR   cca_Str;
} CatCompArray[];

so my Locale code can "see" the array for string look up.

GCC gives me a redefinition error of 'struct CatCompArrayType' because CatComp puts this in the created CFILE:

struct CatCompArrayType
{
    LONG         cca_ID;
    CONST_STRPTR cca_Str;
};
 
STATIC CONST struct CatCompArrayType CatCompArray[] =
......

I have tried every combination I can think of to get this to work. What am I doing wrong?

@mritter0 You shouldn't need

You shouldn't need the CatCompArray to be externally visible. Just make sure that it is included in the file where you implement your GetBuiltInString() function:

CONST_STRPTR GetBuiltInString(int32 str_id) {
    const int32 num_str = sizeof(CatCompArray) / sizeof(CatCompArray[0]);
    int32 i;
 
    for (i = 0; i < num_str; i++) {
        if (CatCompArray[i].cca_ID == str_id)
            return CatCompArray[i].cca_Str;
    }
 
    return NULL;
}

This can then be used in your GetString() function like so:

CONST_STRPTR GetString(struct Catalog *catalog, int32 str_id) {
    CONST_STRPTR built_in;
 
    built_in = GetBuiltInString(str_id);
 
    if (catalog != NULL)
        return ILocale->GetCatalogStr(catalog, str_id, built_in);
 
    return built_in;
}
