structure reference

[peterverkaik]

I try to declare a structure that also
holds a pointer to a next structure of the same type

Code: Select all

structure vpBank
'  union {
'    nmReg vpReg;
'    nmUart vpUart;
'  };
  dim statePtr as ^TvoidSub '//state function
  dim nextVP as ^vpBank
  dim inPort as word '//for fast access to PORTx
  dim inPin as word
  dim outPort as word '//for fast access to LATx (or TRISx)
  dim outPin as word
  dim spare1 as word
  dim spare2 as word
end structure

This generates error
76 345 Recursive types are not allowed RGBWSv0_01p.mbas

Since a pointer has a fixed size of word, that should be allowed.
If not, any workaround?

It should be allowed. Thank you for the note, it will be fixed for next release and you'll be able to use it the way you wrote. We plan release during next week.
