Structs

Spice offers support for C-like structs to collect variables in groups.

Usage¶

To declare a struct, list all field names with types like this:

type Person struct {
    string firstName
    string lastName
    int age
}

this structs can only be declared in the global scope, in parallel to functions and procedures.

For creating an instance of the declared struct, you can pass values for all (or none) fields in curly braces. To access fields of the instance, you can address the fields by their names:

type Person struct {
    string firstName
    string lastName
    int age
}

f<int> main() {
    Person john = Person { "John", "Doe", 46 };
    john.age = 47;
    printf("John's age: %d", john.age);
}
