Subject: [vwnc] [DLLCC] A more helpful error message for typedefs
withstructs?
OK, this got me an hour before I finally remembered that I had had this
before. As an example I take the OPENFILENAME struct which is present in
any image.
CommonDialogsInterface for example defines a struct OPENFILENAME.
The implementation of LPOPENFILENAME as <C: typedef void *
LPOPENFILENAME> is not totally correct, it should be a pointer to
OPENFILENAME, just for type safety reasons and access via memberAt:.
So I tried to change it to <C: typedef OPENFILENAME * LPOPENFILENAME>
which gave me a little error dialog with a name conflict for
OPENFILENAME.
It took me a while (again) before I saw the reason, that it should be
<C: typedef struct OPENFILENAME * LPOPENFILENAME> instead. Oh, if only
the error message would be more informative about that.
But hey, DLLCC is going to be improved anyway with the next versions.
Don't forget this error message. ;-)
Thomas
