Title: Compiler error that gives no output

I have the following that causes the compiler to exit with the message:
Error(s) in compiling
no other information just the message.
The offending code seg.

Code Select


struct squadron {
	int row;
	int col;
	int course;
	int type;
	int from;
	squadron s_next;
	squadron s_prev;
	int planes;
	int fuel;
	int attack;
}

squadron federation;

doesn't s_prev and s_next need a * in front like linked_list has in acommon.inc?

Duh - That fixed it.
Still strange the compiler did not pick it up with a more descriptive error.

I remember you bringing up this same problem recently :D - it's not fixed in Rev1?

It's a stack overflow due to the endless loop and by the time the overflow happens then OS has already killed the process. So the only error I can give is 'stack overflow' ;)

What I mean is that shouldn't compile since it's impossible to do. The size of that structure is infinite, which you can't really do.
