Accessing Digital I/O from within a for loop

[topfuel]

I am trying to read 5 digital I/O pins in a for loop.

Each time through the loop I want to read 1 dig i/o pin.

i.e.

pass 1 read PB0
pass 2 read PC3
pass 3 read PA3

etc.

I am using CCS C compiler and they have an input() function that uses a constant for each I/O pin #

In the header file they have each i/o pin defined.

I tried using a data table

BYTE CONST INPUT_PINS[6]= {PIN_B0,PIN_C2,PIN_B1,PIN_C4,PIN_C3};

in the loop I used the following

if (!input(INPUT_PINS[i]))

but the compiler complains that "Expression must evaluate to a constant"

What is the proper way to do this?

The same question was asked yesterday.

For a replacement function accepting variable pin numbers see:

Now that was exactly my problem yesterday. You will find solution + implementation here:
