[sdcc-devel] Index into array of structs is evaluated as a long

[Michael H. <mic...@ju...>]

See regression/tests/structidx.c.

Basically in:

struct {
  int a;
  int b;
} fish[10];

...
   j = fish[i].b;

The indexing into 'fish' is evaluated as a long instead of a int, as in:

   ptr = _fish + i * 4;
   j = *(ptr + 2)

where the i*4 is evaluated as an unsigned long multiplication (eww).

Now for the fun part.  The code generated is incorrect in mingw32, but is
correct on the ppc.  I don't have a Linux/x86 machine to test on.
