Conditional parsing?

[Kein]

Consider the following

u8 Encrypted @ 0x00;
u32 count @ $;
u64 seeds[count] @ $;

if (!Encrypted)
{
    u128 Chunks[32] @ $;
}

MyStruct DescriptionData;

I only want to parse (and, consequently, to display) the data if specific condition is met and I'm failing to understand why the global variable, that is supposed to track the seeker position, cannot be used/operate inside scopes?

Hey
if statements in global scope currently work as if they're being used inside of a function. That's why you can't place a pattern in there. Instead of using the manual @ $ syntax, I recommend you to instead make a struct that contains all that data, Header for example and add your patterns in there. That way you only need to place that struct once and the offsets of all other patterns just follow.

struct Header {
    u8 encrypted;
    u32 count;
    u64 seeds[count];

    if (!encrypted)
        u128 chunks[32];
};

Header header @ 0x00;

The issue is that now I have an extra Header entry in my pattern display that I need to expand and that clogs the view. The pattern window view already is not particularly good to begin with, and lacks customization, so wasting extra space is kind of a big deal here.

[WerWolv]

You can solve that by using the [[inline]] attribute on the Header struct. For the runtime that doesn't change anything but in the pattern data view, it will dump all of its content into the parent without further indentation

Ah, I see. is there a combination of attributes that can help get rid of extra-expand element for the array?

[WerWolv]

Not currently, no. I can maybe get rid of the [0 ... 2] tree element if there's only enough elements for one of them

Can it be done the way 010 does it? It really saves on space:
