struct member array size issue

emjlr3	why won't JASS: struct retarded real array dam[bj_MAX_PLAYERS] endstruct compile? when JASS: struct retarded real array dam[12] endstruct does.....

Bobo_The_Kodo	Replace bj_MAX_PLAYERS with 12

Anitarf	Also, give a name to your struct.

emjlr3	i typed that in the post message field the syntax was correct in my WE I am more concerned with why bj_MAX_PLAYERS cannot be the size of a struct member array obviously 12 works just as well (or better in this case), but thats hardly the issue here...perhaps I should have posted this in the JassHelper thread

Well wait until Vex will pares blizzard.j one day and that issue will be gone maybe ...
It really doesnt matter anyway...
dumb workaround:

JASS:

globals
    constant integer FOO = bj_constant
endglobals

struct bar
    integer array foobar[FOO]
endstruct

Vexorian	It matters. As for next version I have to parse common.j (hooks) I will also parse blizzard.j at least bj constants will be usable in this way.

emjlr3	sounds good
