Sounds like "undefined behavior" somewhere in the program, effects of 
which can be confusing.

I have a construct:
   a.b.c.d = x;
where all the variables are pointers to struct (the same 
struct).


This fails with 'Access Violation',
but if I change the code to:

 temp = a.b.c;
 temp.d = x;

everything seems to work.

Pointer indirections

[DLearner via Digitalmars-d-learn]

Hi

Is there any limitation as to the number of pointer indirections?

I have a construct:
   a.b.c.d = x;
where all the variables are pointers to struct (the same struct).

This fails with 'Access Violation',
but if I change the code to:

 temp = a.b.c;
 temp.d = x;

everything seems to work.

Best regards
