//
|
||||
// Understanding how Zig treats numeric literals is fundamental
|
||||
// and important, but it isn't exactly exciting.
|
||||
//
|
||||
// We're about to get into the cool wizard stuff that makes
|
||||
// programming computers fun. But first, let's introduce a new and
|
||||
// vital Zig keyword:
|
||||
//
|
||||
// comptime
|
||||
//
|
||||
// When you put 'comptime' in front of a variable declaration,
|
||||
// function parameter, or expression, you're saying, "I want Zig
|
||||
// to evaluate this at compile time rather than runtime."
|
||||
//
|
||||
// We've already seen that Zig implicitly performs certain types
|
||||
// of evaluations at compile time. (Many compilers do a certain
|
||||
// amount of this, but Zig is explicit about it.) Therefore,
|
||||
// these two statements are equivalent and using the 'comptime'
|
||||
// keyword here is redundant:
|
||||
//
|
||||
// const foo1 = 5;
|
||||
// comptime const foo2 = 5;
|
||||
//
|
||||
// But here it makes a difference:
|
||||
//
|
||||
// var bar1 = 5; // ERROR!
|
||||
// comptime var bar2 = 5; // OKAY!
|
||||
//
|
||||
// 'bar1' gives us an error because Zig assumes mutable
|
||||
// identifiers will be used at runtime and trying to use a
|
||||
// comptime_int of undetermined size at runtime is basically a
|
||||
// MEMORY CRIME and you are UNDER ARREST.
|
||||
//
|
||||
// 'bar2' is okay because we've told Zig that this identifier
|
||||
// MUST be resolvable at compile time. Now Zig won't yell at us
|
||||
// for assigning a comptime_int to it without a specific runtime
|
||||
// size.
|
||||
//
|
||||
// The comptime property is also INFECTIOUS. Once you declare
|
||||
// something to be comptime, Zig will always either:
|
||||
//
|
||||
// 1. Be able to resolve that thing at compile time.
|
||||
// 2. Yell at you.
