Declaring an 8 bit variable in C

[Hemanth Kumar P]

Hello Sir,
I had declared in type def char as an int8. But while excuting a program, when I had used this as a variable in array subscript, I am getting a warning message of "array subscript has type character". To eradicate this problem any solution?

Array index values should be ints. If you know what you're doing you should tell
the compiler so by explictly casting your char to an int:[code=cpp]
int8 index;
T array[...];
T element= array[(int)index];[/code]

kind regards,
