Function return custom type

[Grew]

Hi,
Is there a way to make a function return a custom type ?

For example :

Code Select Expand


type point
   int x, y;
end

type rect
   int x0, x1, y0, y1;
end

function rect return_rect(point p1, point p2)
private
   rect return_rect;
begin
   return_rect.x0 = p1.x;
   return_rect.y0 = p1.y;
   return_rect.x1 = p2.x;
   return_rect.y1 = p2.y;
   
   return return_rect;
end

This code give me this error :

error: Struct required ( token error: ")" ).

Any idea ?


(I doubt this is possible.)

Maybe if you use declare? It works on strings. In your case, you could do a work around by creating a global struct to output the values into. I know it's not elegant, but that can surely be done.

you can't return custom types... only can return pointers to custom types.
