Aucbvax.5620 fa.unix-wizards utzoo!decvax!ucbvax!unix-wizards Sun Dec 27 16:33:25 1981 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.
