Hi All!
Please help me to do next thing:

Code:

 struc D init
 {
  ;label . ; if uncommented - got "symbol already defined" error
  match any , init \{ . dd init \}
  match     , init \{ . dd ? \}
  ...Type = 1
 }

 struct A
  d   D
 ends

 a A
 d D

 const = d...Type ; OK
 mov [a.d], 1 ; a.d - OK
 mov eax,a.d...Type ; failed, not defined

The goal - to get D type work as a part of other structures with "...Type" constant for appropriate structure element defined. Please explain, what is wrong here and how to get it work.

Thanks.

I'm sorry, the "struct" macro is not designed to work with structures defined other way than with the "struct" macro itself.

Yes, with

Code:

 struc A
 {
  .d   D
 }

instead of struct it works. Tomasz, please tell me if it is possible to extend struct for such things and, if it is not hard fo you, show this extension here as example.

Thanks.

No, there's no easy way. The design of macro was based on that assumption from the beginning, and it's not possible to easily adapt this design.

Well, I still recommend using only the "struc" directive for any advanced purposes.
