Fixed that error, and feel duly stupid. However, other more worthy errors
come to take that one's place. What I'm trying to do is create a vector
graphics renderer. So I have vector images stored as structs (called vimg),
with an array of pointers to the shapes that make up the vector drawings
(called shape). But it seems that the compiler doesn't go for the idea that
I want to designate an array in a struct without defining it's size, so I
tried just defining it as a pointer, trusting my constructor to deal with
the assignment. But when the constructor assigns the pointer a value that
points to another pointer (e.g. the beginning of the array) I get more error
messages. Not as cryptic as last time, but definitely non-helpful. How do I
fix?
