[Pyrex] C name specifications

[Paul Malyschko]

Hi people,

I hadn't found anyone with problems concerning C name specifications,
so I hope I'm just doing something ignorant.  To elucidate:

(from the C header)"
struct sample {
        char *name;
        char *filename;
        char *mimetype;

        enum loop_type loop_type;
        double loop_start;
        double loop_end;


cdef extern from "song.h":
        cdef struct c_sample "sample":
                char *name
                char *filename
                char *mimetype

                loop_type loop_type
                double loop_start
                double loop_end


Is one example of the C structs from which I need to get into Python. 
The data structures on the Python side have been set up, and Pyrex has
no problem semantically with the code, but as soon as I attempt to
compile, I get a whole lot of "dereferencing pointer to incomplete
type" errors.

At first I thought it was some of my other C code, but I double tested
everything I could test, and got a friend to test as well.  Once I
took out the C name spec (and renaming the corresponding Python
class), it compiled with no problems.  I thought it might be the way I
was using it, but from what I could gather, the above is how it's
supposed to be used with structs.

Any ideas?

Cheers,
Paul.
