Syntax
declaredtype name
Where name is a variable name
Semantics
Will return the declared type of the variable.
Note: This is a static construct only and its lifetime is limited to during compilation.
Example
var i:Int; i:i::const[]; i:declaredtype i;
This code example will firstly type i to be an Int. On line 2, the type of i is combined with the type const (enforcing read only access to the variable's data.) On line 3, the programmer is reverting the variable back to its declared type (i.e. so one can write to the data.)
Since: Version 0.5
