[Gambas-user] Struct declaration scope and array of Struct

[Tobias Boege]

Hi,

two separate questions about Structs in Gambas:

1. Even if I declare a *Public* Struct, all other classes in which I try to
   use this Struct give me an error about an unknown identifier. In what
   regard is the Struct 'global'?

2. The docs state that we could only create embedded arrays of structures
   but the usual Dim a As New MyStruct[] syntax works perfectly and gives a
   normal dynamic array with Add() method, etc.. Except one thing I noticed:
   the objects one added dynamically to the array must apparently be freed
   by oneself or the interpreter will warn about non-freed allocations.
   There is DestroyHunk() function in the Project/FPatch.class file in the
   IDE source code which is the product of this observation. Is this alright
   and should we trust the documentation to not try to create non-embedded
   arrays from structures?

I hope these are not too obvious errors of mine...

Regards,
Tobi
