[Done] Pointer to a structure in the prototype

[User_Russian]

Code: Select all

Macro ma_result : l : EndMacro
PrototypeC.ma_result p_onContextInit(*pContext.ma_context,  *pConfig.ma_context_config,  *pCallback.sma_backend_callbacks)

For prototype does not need to know what implementation of the structure is (the structure is declared below the prototype), because it is a pointer and it is always 4 or 8 bytes and not depend of the implementation of the structure.

Is that a bug report? I don't see any bug here. Please give more context.

Pointers can't be declared with native types like '.l' .

ma_context, ma_context_config and sma_backend_callbacks these are structures that are declared after the prototype.

Pointers can't be declared with native types like '.l' .

There are no pointers with native PB types in this code.

One pass compiler. You mast define the structure before.

As it's a pointer, it should work. I will take a closer look

Similar problem with keyword Declare

Code: Select all

Declare Proc(*z.struct)

Structure struct
  Param1.l
  Param2.f
EndStructure

Procedure Proc(*z.struct)
  
EndProcedure

and Define

Code: Select all

Define *z.struct

Structure struct
  Param1.l
  Param2.f
EndStructure

*z\Param1=0

Import : EndImport

Code: Select all

Import "User32.lib"
  GetWindowRect(hWnd, *r.MyRECT)
EndImport

It has never been possible to use structures that were only defined after their first use.

Normal behaviour

Code: Select all

Procedure foo(*d.udtFoo)   
  
EndProcedure

Structure udtFoo
  d1.i
  d2.i
EndStructure

You're not completely right. It works in structures:

Code: Select all

Structure Foo
	*pointer.Bar
EndStructure

Structure Bar
	a.i
	b.i
EndStructure

Define a.Foo
a\pointer = 1

Debug a\pointer

I implemented forward declaration for variable pointer for Declare() and Prototype().
