wrong size
Hi,

I'm getting a wrong record size with this declaration 


type

	Demo: record

		wReserved :uns16;

		union

			signscale :uns16;

			record

				scale :byte;

				sign :byte;

			endrecord;

		endunion;

	endrecord;



	#print( "sizeof(Demo) = ", @size( Demo ) )

@size returns 6 bytes but it should be 4. When I move wReserved like this: 



type

	Demo: record

		union

			signscale :uns16;

			record

				scale :byte;

				sign :byte;

			endrecord;

		endunion;

		wReserved :uns16;

	endrecord;

now, it works. Any ideas ? Thanks.

wrong size
my problem seems to be related to anonymous record/union. If I add a tag on one or the other, the size is correct. 


type 

   Demo: record 

      wReserved :uns16; 

      union                   <--- u1: union => size ok

         signscale :uns16; 

         record               <--- or r1: record => size ok

            scale :byte; 

            sign :byte; 

         endrecord; 

      endunion; 

   endrecord;

wrong size
Definitely a defect.
I'll try and put together a fix for HLA v1.75.
