boxing

I try this

PHP Code:

---

StructX x=func();
while(null!=(object)x)
{
   //do something
   x=anotherfunc(); 
} 


---

This fails, so I say boxing is a flaw. If not, then how can I check for a null struct please?
Thanks

Structs are Valutypes, use CLASSES !!

:D
Another way would be using nullable Types.

Code:

---

MyStruct? xy = new MyStruct();
if (xy != null) {
        Console.WriteLine("Struct is created");
        MyStruct stest = xy.Value;
        stest.Val = 5;
        stest.Name = "Hallo";
        xy = new Nullable<MyStruct>(stest);
}
       
public struct MyStruct {
        public int Val;
        public string Name;
}

---

As you see handling a simple struct to use it as nullable is a bit a strange task. If you need objects use referene types --> classes

Yeah, you are guaranteed that a value type will not be null by default. I would not start making nullable structs unless you have a very good reason for it. This is definitely not a language flaw.
