Variable Array as member of a class

[linuxanddos]

How could I declare an variable sized array as a member of a class?

Sadly, the documentation of FreeBasic is missing explanations and examples with classes and type, as in this part: https://www.freebasic.net/wiki/ProPgArrays

I've tried the following (abc should be a variable sized array) - but it does not work:

Code: Select all

type SomeThing extends Object
	'[...]
end type

type SomeClass extends Object
	declare abstract sub RedimAbcArray(size as Short)
	private:
		as SomeThing abc() 
end type

The error message is:

Code: Select all

error 9: Expected expression, found ')' in 'as SomeThing abc()'
'

If I try to add a dim before the line with the error, this does not solve the problem.

Not sure it solves but try adding any.

Code: Select all

as SomeThing abc(any)

See TYPE (UDT) at documentation page:

Redim arrayname(array dimensions) As DataType

fieldname(array dimensions) As DataType [= initializer]
fieldname(Any [, Any...]) As DataType

As DataType fieldname(array dimensions) [= initializer], ...
As DataType fieldname(Any [, Any...])

Now it works. It would be cool if someone could document it under the already mentioned link...

Sorry, I missed the post about the UDT page.
