I assume you meant p1.x=2 here,

and v1.pointloc = p1 here.

This is the second time you have posted code snippets which contain code
to be executed outside of function scope.  You can't put lines like a=b
outside of a function.  You can initialize a variable with a value, but
that must be done on the line in which the variable is declared.
