Bug reference: 5762

PostgreSQL version: 1.8.3
Operating system: linux - Centos 5.3
Description: ecpg
Details:

I'm porting a pro * c (oracle) to ecpg.

In oracle I have:

EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION;

typedef struct _SItemInfo
{
varchar strNome [40 +1];

SItemInfo};

SItemInfo sitem;

EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION;

EXEC SQL SELECT name INTO: FROM sitem delivery;

it generates the source and compile c normally. However when I generate in
ecpg have:

typedef struct {_SItemInfo
# Line 509 "/ home / Development / Delivery / gserv.pgc"
varchar_strNome_509 struct {int len; char arr [40 + 1];} strNome;
SItemInfo};

# Line 511 "/ home / Development / Delivery / gserv.pgc"

# Line 513 "/ home / Development / Delivery / gserv.pgc"
SItemInfo sitem;
/ * Exec sql end declare section * /
# Line 515 "/ home / Development / Delivery / gserv.pgc"

{ECPGdo (__LINE__, 0, 1, NULL, 0, ECPGst_normal "select name
from delivery, "ECPGt_EOIT,
ECPGt_varchar, & (sItem.strNome), (long) 40 + 1, (long) 1, sizeof
(struct
varchar_strNome_509)
ECPGt_NO_INDICATOR, NULL, 0L, 0L, 0L, ECPGt_EORT);}
# Line 518 "/ home / Development / Delivery / gserv.ppc

At C code does not exist in the structure sizeof (struct
varchar_strNome_509) because
she 'and a member of struct SItemInfo in the above case.

Workaround: use "char" instead "varchar".

Thanks
