SWIG cannot convert typedef type

Question

I am using SWIT to convert a vc project to python. I found that the structure has a member whose type is similar to "typedef char TEXT [16]", which cannot be converted correctly. eg:

typedef char TEXT[16];
struct MYSTRUCT
{       
    TEXT    TradingDay;     
};

The cpp wrapper cannot compile everything correctly. "error C2075:" The purpose of the new () operator: curly braces are needed to initialize the array "BUT, if typedef is not an array, for example:

    typedef int NUMBER;
    struct MYSTRUCT2
{       
    NUMBER Money;       
};

everything will be fine. what should I do? THX!

PS: i file:

%module MyDataAPI
%include "typemaps.i"

%header %{
#include "../References/MyDataAPI.h"

%}

namespace MyDataAPI
{
     struct MYSTRUCT
    {       
        TEXT    TradingDay;     
    };
    struct MYSTRUCT2
    {       
        NUMBER Money;       
    };
}

, typedef SWIG. %header , SWIG. %inline SWIG. .i:

%module x

%inline %{
    typedef char TEXT[16];
    typedef int NUMBER;
    namespace MyDataAPI
    {
        struct MYSTRUCT
        {
            TEXT TradingDay;
        };
        struct MYSTRUCT2
        {
            NUMBER Money;
        };
    }
%}
