[JASS] struct allocation...

[maskedpoptart]

Hey guys I need some vJass experts to help me out here. I am stumped. So, basically I have the following code in one trigger:

library test
    //! textmacro Pair takes type, listType
    struct $listType$Pair
        $type$ a
        $type$ b
    endstruct
    //! endtextmacro
    
    //! runtextmacro Pair("integer", "Integer")
    //! runtextmacro Pair("real", "Real")
endlibrary

and I have another library that I want to be able to use different types of "Pair"s:

library test2 requires test
    
    struct twoPairs
        private IntegerPair p1 = IntegerPair.create()
        private RealPair p2 = RealPair.create()
    endstruct
    
endlibrary

However when I save the map, I get compile errors saying that it can't find the RealPair allocate function. For some reason, it creates the IntegerPair allocate/destroy functions before the twoPairs allocate/destroy functions before the RealPair allocate/destroy functions. It's completely ignoring the requirements of the libraries and just placing the struct allocate functions in random order. See the attached screenshot.

You cannot use non-native functions to assign values to globals/struct members on initialization.

Well that's pretty lame...
So would this be the solution?

library test2 requires test
    
    struct twoPairs
        IntegerPair p1
        RealPair p2
    
        static method create takes nothing returns thistype
            local thistype tp = thistype.allocate()
            set tp.p1 = IntegerPair.create()
            set tp.p2 = RealPair.create()
            return tp
        endmethod
    endstruct
endlibrary

Think about how structs and globals are coded. They are the first things to go into the map script, before any user function declarations, including struct allocators. And in the end JASS still requires precedence.

And yes, your code would be the best solution.
