[julia-users] Size of Julia types

[Jan Niklas Hasse]

Hi!

I'm new to Julia and was wondering why

type A
    x::Ptr{Void}
    y::Ptr{Void}
end

type B
    x::A
end

assert(sizeof(A) == sizeof(B))

doesn't work while the C version

#include <assert.h>

struct A {
    void* x;
    void* y;
};

struct B {
    A x;
};

int main() {
    assert(sizeof(A) == sizeof(B));
}

does? This causes a segfault in my FreeType.jl wrapper.
