[M3devel] initializing field with record size?

[Jay K]

TYPE
  struct_stat = RECORD
    type_size: LONGINT := VAL(BYTESIZE(struct_stat), LONGINT);
    st_dev   : LONGINT; (* Utypes.dev_t   *)
...

  END;


new source -> compiling Ustat.i3
"..\src\unix\Common\Ustat.i3", line 57: illegal recursive declaration (struct_stat)
"..\src\unix\Common\Ustat.i3", line 57: illegal recursive type declaration
2 errors encountered
compilation failed => not building library "m3core.lib"
Fatal Error: package build failed

 

really can't be allowed?

 

I know, I can compute it myself, or I can make it a default parameter to functions that traffic in the type.
