arrays in structures
>From alice!ark@Berkeley Sun Dec 27 16:20:40 1981
They are legal, and if they don't work then you must have a buggy compiler.
Example: I should be able to say:
struct {
int a;
char b[25];
int c;
} foo[30];
This allocates space for 30 instances of a structure containing an
int, 25 chars, some padding (1 byte on a PDP-11, 3 bytes on a VAX),
and another int. I can refer to things like:
foo[15].a
foo[x].b[y]
and so on. I know of no particular bugs that would cause trouble here.
