The following doesn't give me an error, which is expected:
pub const B = struct {
b: *B,
};
but when I change B to struct { B }, it errors with struct 'test.B' depends on itself:
pub const B = struct {
b: *struct { B },
};
I just updated to Zig 0.14.0 and this is still present. It's not a problem personally since I can just add a pointer, but I ran into this and was wondering if there's an explanation.
I looked through zig issues and apparently false dependency loops are a known problem? Didn't find this exact example though so maybe I'm missing something
Oh nevermind after changing my example to pointers i found relevant discussion

The latter really can't work because it requires the B to be fully known first
thus the loop
b: struct { *B } or such would be valid

kinda feels like an implementation design limitation
thanks for the explanation

Actually I think I'm wrong, the second should work too, but seems like regression
