Recursive Struct and StructRef

[aramesh117]

Hello,

We have a situation of structs that I am not able to resolve easily through jnr-ffi. Here's a similar example:

struct A {
  uint64_t timestamp;
  B b;
};

struct B {
  A* as;
};

When I try to define the equivalent JNR classes by using inner for A.b and StructRef for B.as, I run into an infinite loop. Seems like this is because JNR calls the constructor of A which initializes B's constructor, which initializes A's constructor even though B.as is a pointer.

How would you recommend resolving this? Thank you! I would imagine this is pretty common.
