[M3devel] pointers/arrays?

[Jay K]

I'm still wrestling with this. I have found a few options that work and they all have glaring problems.


VAR macho_header32_t_fields := ARRAY [0..6] OF field_t{
  field_t{ "magic", 0, 4, enum_table := EnumTable(macho_magic_names)},
...
  field_t{ "flags", 24, 4}};


1) I shouldn't have to give the size of the array.
2) I shouldn't have to copy the enum table to make it an indexable array.


Disappointing..

a: UNTRACED REF T;
i: INTEGER;


a[i] ?
(a + i)^ ?


Or I'm really stuck with
LOOPEHOLE(a + i * BYTESIZE(a^), UNTRACED REF T)


Seems kind of stinky.
I've got some nice efficient readable safe-enough C and it doesn't seem to translate well easily efficiently to Modula-3.
