[Implemented] LinkedLists inside Structures

ZeHa · Post by **ZeHa** » Thu Jan 10, 2008 10:42 am

Hello,

I think it would be essential to be able to do something like this:

Structure Player 
    xPos.l 
    yPos.l 
    NewList weapons.Weapon()       ; <-- look here :)
EndStructure

There are a few workarounds like creating your own lists and so on, but I think this should be a native feature of PB.

Would this be possible for 4.2 or 4.3?

A good idea! I second this!

I disagree.
A dynamic linkedlist lib would be more important.

Code: Select all

Structure tProps
   sName.s
   sAssoc.s
EndStructure

Structure tMyData
   sName.s
   sEmail.s
   *Properties.tProps
EndStructure

*List.tMyData = NewList
AddElement (*List)
*List\sName = "Frédéric Laboureur"
*List\sEmail = "support [at] purebasic.com"
; With dynamic instanced LinkedList, you could do that.
*List\Properties = NewList
AddElement (*List\Properties)
*List\Properties\sName = "talent"
*List\Properties\sAssoc = "Developed a realy cool programming language."

Best regards

Why not both?

LinkedList in structures would make necessary to change the syntax of purebasic.
That could be a new source of bugs. *paranoia*

@ Hroudtwolf: Why would the syntax change?!

I think it's totally important to have this. Otherwise, you can only have global lists and not bind them to an object. What do you do when you want to have a linked list for every new object you create? Let's say you've got a structure for a "person", and the person should be able to carry an arbitrary amount of stuff in his pockets. How would you do that? You can only use fixed-length arrays inside a structure.
