structures still confusing [message #49080]

Hi Gurus,

finally something, where I don't know,
if it's odd idl syntax or not...

something about structures.

FUNCTION test_struct

s = [{ m : [1L, 2L, 3L], n :1L }]

FOR i = 1L, 2L DO BEGIN
;
s = [s, { m : [1L, 2L, 3L], n : i }]
;
ENDFOR

return, s

END

this creates an array of structures:

(X). s = test_struct()
(X). help,/struct,s
** Structure <fa330>, 2 tags, length=16, data length=16, refs=1:
M LONG Array[3]
N LONG 1
(X). print, n_elements(s)
3
(X).

so far ok, I guess. but

(X). help,s.m
<Expression> LONG = Array[3, 3]
(X). print, s.m
1 2 3
1 2 3
1 2 3
(X). print, s.m[0]
1 1 1
(X). print, s.m[1]
2 2 2
(X). print, s.m[2]
3 3 3

is a *bit* confusing. isn't it?

best regards,
martin.
