Hello,

while porting an application from CA/Ingres to PostgreSQL
I came across a segmentation fault by ecpg. The code looks
something like this:

EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION;
struct bnd_a
{
struct bnd_b
{
char myvar[31];
} bnd_b[5];
} bnd_a[5];
EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION;

myfunction()
{
EXEC SQL DECLARE mycursor CURSOR FOR
SELECT mycolumn FROM mytable;
EXEC SQL OPEN mycursor;
EXEC SQL FETCH mycursor
INTO :bnd_a[0].bnd_b[0].myvar;
EXEC SQL CLOSE mycursor;
}

Versions are:

ecpg (PostgreSQL 7.4) 3.0.0
Linux scaleo 2.4.18-4GB #1 Wed Mar 27 13:57:05 UTC 2002 i686 unknown

Are nested structures not supported by ecpg ?

Thanks for any information,

Jürgen
