[RESOLVED] Pointer to an array of pointers to a structure

[aryajur]

Hi,
I have an abstract class like this:

class Obj
{
    public:
       virtual int someFunc()=0;
    protected:
        struct A
        {
            int Index;
            std::string Name;
            std::string Hier;
        };
        A **a;
};

And then I derive a class from this like this:

class derObj : public Obj
{
    public:
        int someFunc();
    private:
        struct A a[2] = {
          { 1, "name","Top" }, { NULL, NULL, NULL}
        }
};

This doesn't work out however and I get error messages:

error: a brace-enclosed initializer is not allowed here before '{' token
error: ISO C++ forbids initialization of member 'a'
error: making 'a' static|
error: invalid in-class initialization of static data member of non-integral type 'Obj::A [2]'

Please can anybody help me determine what is causing this error. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
