4.27 Arrays of Records

It is a perfectly reasonable operation to create an array of records. To do so, you simply create a record type and then use the standard array declaration syntax. The following example demonstrates how you could do this:

type
     recElement:
          record
               << Fields for this record >>
          endrecord;
          .
          .
          .
static
     recArray: recElement[4];

To access an element of this array you use the standard array indexing techniques. Because recArray is a single-dimensional array, you'd compute the address of an element of this array using the formula baseAddress + index*@size( recElement ). For example, to access an element of recArray you'd use code like the following:

// Access element i of recArray:

     intmul( @size( recElement ), i, ebx ); // ebx := i*@size( ...
