Description Sébastien Wilmet 2010-08-16 22:46:36 UTC 
Compile this program:

public struct MyStruct
{
    public int[] array;
}

int main ()
{
    MyStruct test = MyStruct ();
    test.array += 1;
    test.array += 2;

    stdout.printf ("%d\n", test.array[1]);

    return 0;
}

And you will get this GCC error:
error: ‘MyStruct’ has no member named ‘_array_size_’

If I declare MyStruct without the "public" keyword, everything works fine.
