1971 :: Error: illegal recursion in type

  Hello. I have that error:

  
  Error: illegal recursion in type 'h2o_timestamp_t'
  Run

  In code:

  type
    h2o_timestamp_string_t* {.pure, final, importc: "h2o_timestamp_string_t", header: h2o_header_file.} = object
      rfc1123* {.importc: "rfc1123".}: array[H2O_TIMESTR_RFC1123_LEN + 1, char]
      log* {.importc: "log".}: array[H2O_TIMESTR_LOG_LEN + 1, char]
    
    h2o_timestamp_t* {.pure, final, importc: "h2o_timestamp_t", header: h2o_header_file.} = object
      at* {.importc: "at".}: timeval
      str* {.importc: "str".}: ptr h2o_timestamp_string_t
  Run

  How import Timeval?

  Why is the reason of error illegal recursion in type?

  I don't know what your definition of timeval is, but if it contains h2o_timestamp_t then the error makes sense. A ptr timeval type of at would help in that case.
