Hi,

This is a bit ugly, the struct below contained an enum:

struct threadQueue {
    ...
    enum {
	THREAD_JUST_BORN = 0,	/* Not "start"ed yet */
	THREAD_ACTIVE = 1,	/* Currently running, or on Run queue */
	THREAD_SUSPENDED = 2,   /* Waiting for monitor or alarm */
	THREAD_DEAD = 3		/* Thread has quit */
    } state;
};

CC65 couldn't evaluate the rhs of this statement and so I used a 
set of #defines to get around it.

        if (CurrentThread->state == THREAD_ACTIVE) {

The question is, is there a specific way that the enum label could be
referenced?
I guess a better way would be to typedef the enum outside of the struct and
then
use then declare 'state' properly within the struct?

Thanks for the other responses + bug fix, I had the same problem with a
function
returning a union but luckily it was only 4 bytes long and so I was able to
get by
passing/returning the 'i' element ;)

typedef union {
    struct {
	unsigned short nameKey;
	unsigned short typeKey;	/* either MethodTypeKey or FieldTypeKey */
    } nt;
    unsigned long i;
} NameTypeKey;
