Problem with forward referencing.

[JesseParticipant]

I got a program that gives me an error when I try to pass a pointer to a method but only when I pass one of its fields:

Monkey

Method InitLevel1() ufoManager = New UfoManager(playerManager.player.pos) '************ End Method

1 2 3 4 5

Method InitLevel1() ufoManager = New UfoManager(playerManager.player.pos) '************ End Method

to this method on another Class:

Monkey

Method New(playerPos:PVector2D) '****************** Super.New() state = State.ENTERING Self.playerPos = playerPos '**************** End Method

1 2 3 4 5

Method New(playerPos:PVector2D) '****************** Super.New() state = State.ENTERING Self.playerPos = playerPos '**************** End Method

and I get this error:

/Users/ayoitseve/Desktop/monkeypatrol/monkeypatrol.buildv1.0.3/build_cache/desktop_debug_macos/monkeypatrol_src_2entity.h:11:8: note: forward declaration of ‘t_default_PVector2D’
struct t_default_PVector2D;
^
1 error generated.
***** Fatal mx2cc error *****

Internal mx2cc build error

If I pass the object  I don’t get the error only if I pass the field:

Monkey

Method InitLevel1() ufoManager = New UfoManager(playerManager.player) '********** End Method

1 2 3 4 5 6

Method InitLevel1() ufoManager = New UfoManager(playerManager.player) '********** End Method

Monkey

Method New(player:Vehicle) '******************************************** Super.New() state = State.ENTERING Self.playerPos = player.pos '************************************* End Method

1 2 3 4 5 6

Method New(player:Vehicle) '******************************************** Super.New() state = State.ENTERING Self.playerPos = player.pos  '************************************* End Method

this does not give me an error and works fine.

my question is. Is this correct? or is this a bug with MX2?

Anything that craps out the c++ compiler is a bug – please post an issue at github.

I did. Thanks.
