This applies to both array types
[T * n]
, as well as RepeatArrayExpr[E; n]
. In both cases, n must be defined asstatic n = ...
, or artic might fail.There are three parts to this:
This last step will replace the size member of the RepeatArrayExpr and the SizedArrayType, so the emitter does not require any substantial changes.
The way type inference is implemented should allow modules to be used when defining the size of an array, but addressing struct members will fail with an assert during type inference right now.
