How can I define or declare a structure in which some members are of type of a pointer other structure? Something like:

Code:

; these are defined
;MyStruct2
;MyStruct3



struc MyStruct {
    .a db ?
    .b dw ?
    .c MyStruct2 ;??? pointer to MyStruct2
    .d MyStruct3 ;??? pointer to MyStruct3
}

1. Should ib be "dd ?" ?
2. What if it were not a pointer, but just a struct itself -- value in C?

For struc you can just use .c dd ? to point to somewhere.

If you want to embed the structure then just do what you have above .c SomeStruc <optional parameters>

BTW: This is one of the areas where struct and struc differ.
