I'm using a library which for one certain feature involves variables like so:

```
extern const u8 foo[];
extern const u8 bar[];

```

I am not allowed to rename these variables in any way.

However, I like to be able to access these variables through an array (or other similar method) so that I do not need to continually hardcode new instances of these variables into my main code.

My first attempt at creating an array is as follows:

```
const u8* pl[] = {
    &foo,
    &bar
};

```

This gave me the error `cannot convert 'const u8 (*)[]' to 'const u8*' in initialization`, and with help elsewhere along with some Googling, I changed my array to this:

```
u8 (*pl)[] = {
    &foo,
    &bar
};

```

Upon compiling I now get the error `scalar object 'pl' requires one element in initializer`.

Does anyone have any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.
