Compiler error that gives no output

[Rock Ridge Farm (Larry)]

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 Expand


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?

[Rock Ridge Farm (Larry)]

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 - 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'

[Parker]

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.
