public, static & friends

[Charles]

Can you reply again and use the "Upload attachment" to give us your source?

[RichS]

It seems the property must be shared as well.

Try sharing both definitions.

(Chuck, I'll upload the source when I find the right button.)

Here it goes (it's a .txt file, because .cobra is not allowed)

I tried placing "var _lista = Lista<of Dude>()" and "pro lista from var" in the shared block, but I got this error:

hello2.cobra(35): error: Static member "Dude.Lista.get" cannot be accessed with
an instance reference; qualify it with a type name instead
hello2.cobra(5): warning: (Location of symbol related to previous error)
Compilation failed - 1 error, 1 warning
Not running due to errors above.

I don't see it...

[neuruss]

Please just forget it!
It was a line of code that I forgot to delete...

print x.lista

Sorry guys!

[neuruss]

I believed the attachment didn't work...here it goes again.

[Charles]

I'll have to investigate attachments at some point. I'll be of the forums for awhile now to work on Cobra.

[neuruss]

Sorry guys, but this is still not clear to me...
I read in another thread that the "public" keyword is recognized in Cobra 0.7.2.
Indeed, this compiled:

var _name as String is public

However, this member doesn't behave as public...
So I'm back to my original question:
Is it possible to declare a member as public (without having to create a property from it?)

In the following code, _classVariable is freely accessible to anyone (including Bob) by using Bob._classVariable, and the value will be the same for everyone.

_instanceVariable is freely accessible to anyone who has an instance of Bob, but the value will depend on the particular instance.

class Bob
    shared
        var _classVariable as String is public

    var _instanceVariable as String? is public

class Program
    def main is shared
        Bob._classVariable = "Yo"

        a = Bob()
        a._instanceVariable = "baby"

        b = Bob()
        b._instanceVariable = "and then some more"

        print Bob._classVariable
        print a._instanceVariable
        print b._instanceVariable
