Missing BP feature - Gpc

9 May 2004


      Hi
I think I have a missing feature or incompatibility with BP. I am 
trying to compile the paszlib units with GPC. Given these declarations:
{ Data structure describing a single value and its code string. }
type
  ct_data_ptr = ^ct_data;
  ct_data = record
    fc : record
      case byte of
      0:(freq : ush);       { frequency count }
      1:(code : ush);       { bit string }
    end;
    dl : record
      case byte of
      0:(dad : ush);        { father node in Huffman tree }
      1:(len : ush);        { length of bit string }
    end;
  end;
this code does not compile:
var
 static_ltree : array[0..L_CODES+2-1] of ct_data = (
(fc:(freq: 12);dl:(len: 8)), (fc:(freq:140);dl:(len: 8)), (fc:(freq: 
76);dl:(len: 8)),
(fc:(freq:204);dl:(len: 8)), (fc:(freq: 44);dl:(len: 8)), 
(fc:(freq:172);dl:(len: 8)),
(fc:(freq:108);dl:(len: 8)), (fc:(freq:236);dl:(len: 8)), (fc:(freq: 
28);dl:(len: 8)),
[....]
Instead, I get the error:
"trees.pas:448: field `freq' not found"
Any clues? Thanks.
Best regards, The Chief
