    Exclamation struct problems

    Please help me work out why
    This struct works
    Code:
    /* hashStruct */
    struct test
    {
        List hashTable[MAXTABLE];
        int secondVariable;
    };
    typedef struct test hashStruct;
    And this struct works
    Code:
    struct myStruct
    {
       char *fileName;
       char instanceName[MAX_LENGTH];
       int customers;
       int products;
       int lowerBound;
       int upperBound;
       int TotalSegments;
       int matrix[MAX_CUSTOMERS][MAX_PRODUCTS];
       Product productArray[MAX_PRODUCTS];
    
       /* flags section */
       int maxIterations;
       bool verbose;
       bool elimSubsumed;
       bool partition;
       bool completeMOSP;
       bool print;
       bool branchAndBound;
       bool aStarOriginal;
       bool aStarStepwise;
       bool aStarBackwards;
       bool aStarBinaryChop;
       bool Heuristic_TrivialBounds;
    };
    typedef struct myStruct mospData;
    yet
    Code:
    struct myStruct
    {
       char *fileName;
       char instanceName[MAX_LENGTH];
       int customers;
       int products;
       int lowerBound;
       int upperBound;
       int TotalSegments;
       int matrix[MAX_CUSTOMERS][MAX_PRODUCTS];
       Product productArray[MAX_PRODUCTS];
       List hashTable[MAXTABLE];                    // this is the different line (line 50)
    
       /* flags section */
       int maxIterations;
       bool verbose;
       bool elimSubsumed;
       bool partition;
       bool completeMOSP;
       bool print;
       bool branchAndBound;
       bool aStarOriginal;
       bool aStarStepwise;
       bool aStarBackwards;
       bool aStarBinaryChop;
       bool Heuristic_TrivialBounds;
    };                                             // (line 65)
    typedef struct myStruct mospData;
    Gives me this message when i compile
    50: error: syntax error before 'List'
    50: warning: no semicolon at end of struct or union
    65: error: syntax error before '}' token
    I just don't get, it must be a syntax thing but i can't work it out.
    Please help!

    Where is 'List' defined?


    Quzah.
    Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.

    These are the other structs in the program
    Code:
    struct LinkedListRec
    {
       int    count;
       Node*  headPtr;
    };
    typedef struct LinkedListRec List;
    
    struct NodeRec
    {
       Set set;
       int activeStacks;
       struct NodeRec* nextPtr;
    };
    typedef struct NodeRec Node;
    
    
    /* the Structs required in Node */
    struct setStruct
    {
       bitArray value;
       int setSize;
    };
    typedef struct setStruct Set;
    
    struct bitwiseArray
    {
        unsigned long long high;
        unsigned long long low;
    };
    typedef struct bitwiseArray bitArray;
    NOTE that the struct below works and if i can't get it to work inside the mospData struct it is likely how i will use it, however i want to understand what is happening
    Code:
    struct test
    {
        List hashTable[MAXTABLE];
        int secondVariable;
    };
    typedef struct test hashStruct;

    Are you just going to keep copy / pasting bits of structs out of context, or are you going to post a complete unedited example of what does not compile?
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
