C11.1.1) Static Constants

Description

This article is from the FAQ, by with numerous contributions by others.

The following program will make the compiler crash:

   ORIGIN '~beta/basiclib/current/betaenv';
   --- program: descriptor ---
   (# E: @(# exit 1 #) #)

The compiler reports:

   ******* System error!!!
   Constant used as static item
   Please report this error to Mjolner Informatics

and then stops.

This is because constants should be declared without the '@' sign, i.e.:

   ORIGIN '~beta/basiclib/current/betaenv';
   --- program: descriptor ---
   (# E: (# exit 1 #) #)
