I have a strange Error when compiling a Structure Union Construction in C-Backend.
In ASM-Backend it is working perfect!

I use actual PB 6.11
IDE build on 06/06/2024 [09:41] by Fred
Branch: v6.11 Revision: 5a52d0b14a87

THIS IS THE ERROR MESSAGE

---------------------------
PureBasic - Assembler error

error: incompatible types when initializing type 'float' using type 'vecfXs_tvector' {aka 'struct vecfXs_tvector'}

673 | vecfXs_tmatrix v_matrix={0};

| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~

purebasic.c: In function 'draw3dXf__draw3dpoint':

purebasic.c:693:30: warning: ex

---------------------------

I figured out that the problem is the initialisation of a var.TVector

Code: Select all

 Procedure _Draw3DPoint(*Vertex.TDraw3D_Vertex)
    ;TODO! Find the Problem in the Draw3D Project in C-Backend 
    
    ; This line creates the Compiler Error in C-Bakcen but only in the real projct not in this demo!
    Protected Projection.TVector   
    
  EndProcedure

I created a test code what shows the situation but in the test code tere is no problem!
Until now I'm not able to locate the problem. I checked C-Output but I could not find anything.
Then I reinstalled PB but same problem (and I killed my Show C-Output)

To see the Error you have to download the orignal Project here:
https://github.com/Maagic7/PureBasicFra ... main/Demos
Draw3D_with_VECf.zip
It is a modification from STARGATEs Draw3D to test my Vector Module

Here is the test code what shows the situation but not the error.

I hope anyone of you is able to locate the problem!
Many thanks

here the C-Output of Procedure _Draw3DPoint(*Vertex.TDraw3D_Vertex)

Code: Select all

// Procedure.i _Draw3D_Multiply(*Use.TMatrix, *Source.TMatrix)
static integer draw3dXf__draw3dpoint(draw3dXs_tdraw3d_vertex* p_vertex) {
integer r=0;

Seems ok

think you need to get the union out of the structure if you want to use zero based static arrays
or it's an issue in the c backend processing structureunion as x.f is included in the union in your example .

if just means you need to access with \v like *Vertex\v\v[0]

Now I did some more resarch!
I guess it is a bug in the C-Backend!

sampels of the C-Output

Code: Select all

#pragma pack(4)
typedef struct vecfXs_tpoint2d {
float f_x;
float f_y;
} vecfXs_tpoint2d;
#pragma pack()

#pragma pack(4)
typedef struct vecfXs_tvector {
union {
float f_v[0];
vecfXs_tpoint2d f_pt2d[0];
float f_x;
};
float f_y;
float f_z;
float f_w;
} vecfXs_tvector;
#pragma pack()

#pragma pack(4)
typedef struct vecfXs_tmatrix {
union {
vecfXs_tvector f_v[0];
vecfXs_tpoint2d f_pt2d[0];
float f_m11;
};
float f_m12;
float f_m13;
float f_m14;
float f_m21;
float f_m22;
float f_m23;
float f_m24;
float f_m31;
float f_m32;
float f_m33;
float f_m34;
float f_m41;
float f_m42;
float f_m43;
float f_m44;
} vecfXs_tmatrix;

static integer f_test_matrix_x_matrix() {
integer r=0;
; Thats the point what is not possible in C-Backend!!!
vecfXs_tmatrix v_mx0={0};
vecfXs_tmatrix v_mx1={0};
vecfXs_tmatrix v_mx2={0};

In my opinion that's the BUG
vecfXs_tmatrix v_mx0={0};

It has to converted from PB to C-Compiler in an other expression because if it is an Array with [0] there is no specific
length!

Now I was able to create a demo what shows the Problem.

I opend a thread in the C-Backend Bugreport for that!
