Обсуждение: ECPG and structure declaration
ECPG and structure declaration Hello, why is the following code fragment an error for ecpg ? --------------------------------------------- EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION; struct base { char basekey [ 26 ]; }; EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION; struct base b1[10]; struct base *b2; --------------------------------------------- ecpg gives the error message: demo.q:5: ERROR: syntax error at or near ";" Versions: - ecpg (PostgreSQL 7.3.3) 2.10.0 - Linux scaleo 2.4.18-4GB #1 Wed Mar 27 13:57:05 UTC 2002 i686 unknown My intention is to declare the structure type in an include file and define arrays, pointers, etc from the declaration in various .c files. What's wrong ? Cheers, Jürgen

The next release will be able to correctly parse this kind of definition itself, but until then you have to list the whole struct definition when defining the variable.
