Ticket #122 (closed enhancement: fixed)

Opened 16 years ago

Last modified 16 years ago

Support constants

Reported by: Chuck Owned by: Chuck
Priority: major Milestone: Cobra 0.9
Component: Cobra Compiler Version: 0.8.0
Keywords: constants Cc:

Description

Support constant declarations like those found in C#.

ticket:100 is somewhat related in that it covers "readonly" declarations. However, note that readonly fields cannot be used when constructing attributes. C# reports "error: An attribute argument must be a constant expression, typeof expression or array creation expression"

Which makes implementing constants more urgent.
