Re: recursive user-defined commands and

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. I'm making progress but was not able to solve the
problem yet. The following 3 examples didn't work, all giving "A syntax
error in expression, near `)malloc(..." message:

1) set variable $myvar = (List<CLECSFeatValue>::LNode**)malloc(10 *
sizeof(List<CLECSFeatValue>::LNode*))

2) set variable $myvar = (List<CLECSFeatValue>::LNode*)malloc(10 *
sizeof(List<CLECSFeatValue>::LNode))

3) set variable $myvar = ((struct
List<CLECSFeatValue>::LNode)*)malloc(10 *
sizeof(List<CLECSFeatValue>::LNode))

The following 2 commands work as expected.
4) p sizeof(struct List<CLECSFeatValue>::LNode)
$81 = 12
5) p sizeof(List<CLECSFeatValue>::LNode)
$81 = 12

But the following do not work even if I put parentheses everywhere.
6) p sizeof(struct List<CLECSFeatValue>::LNode*)
7) p sizeof(List<CLECSFeatValue>::LNode*)

Using void* didn't help as it wasn't possible to cast to the LNode*
type.

Thanks,
selcuk
