Thread: HashTable in a struct

Hi All,

I keep getting these errors when I compile my hash table within a struct:

error: syntax error before 'List'
warning: no semicolon at end of struct or union

This is the code of what I have done, hash.h contains all the required functions and when hashStruct is commented out it works fine.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdbool.h>
#include "hash.h"

struct  hashStruct
{
    List hashTable[MAXTABLE];
    int second variable;
}
typedef struct hashStruct test;

int main()
{
    test myHash;
    List hashTable[MAXTABLE];     // This works
    initialiseHash(myHash.hashTable);
    return 1;
}

I am able to declare the hash table in the same way without it being in a struct, any ideas whats wrong?

A brief background, this hash table is part of a much larger program with a large struct that contains alot of useful information. I would prefer to just have the hash table accessible inside this struct then have to pass it around seperately.

Thanks,
Nick
