Linked Lists or Arrays

Shannara:
I'm using a Structure full of strings in my linked lists, but haven't had any problems yet. How bad is this? Is it a bug that is going to be fixed?

This bug have not been fixed yet, and have been confirmed. I try to stay away from strings in linked lists as well, though I have ran into this problem too.. ergh.

So your advice is to use structures inside of arrays. And they are safe
with strings?

I try not to give advice

But yeah. Or.... if you have a structure in linked lists that have a few string members, just seperate the structure into two, one for strings, the other for other. And stick the string structure in an array, using the array's index as a Key field in the other structure

A horrible work around, and slower, but....
