CONSTANT and IF together not possible?

Monkey Forums/Monkey Bug Reports/CONSTANT and IF together not possible?

Is this a bug or a feature?

If I use a constant MY_DEMO I cannot use it together with an IF statement:

Strict
Import mojo

Const MY_DEMO:Bool=TRUE

Class Game Extends App
	Method OnCreate%()
		SetUpdateRate 60
		If MY_DEMO=True 
		
		Endif
		Return 0
	End
.....

this code results in an error message:

Monkey Runtime Error : C:/Monkey/Duett/test.monkey<10> : Internal error

I thought it would be allowed like...

IF 1=1

What about trying to cast it as a bool? Not on a machine with monk at the moment.

If bool(MY_DEMO=True)

therevills

That looks like a bug to me, raise it in the bug forum.

(Edit: Was I tired last night or has this thread been moved?)

Could you please post a complete, runnable example?

This works here:

Strict
Import mojo

Const MY_DEMO:Bool=TRUE

Class Game Extends App
	Method OnCreate%()
		SetUpdateRate 60
		If MY_DEMO=True 
			Print "Hello!"
		Endif
		Return 0
	End
End

Function Main:Int()
	New Game
	Return 0
End

Hi Mark,

your code does not work on my V69 .

This is the log:

"C:/MonkeyPro69/bin/transcc_winnt" -target=Html5_Game -config=Debug -run "C:/Monkey/Schrott/t.monkey"
TRANS monkey compiler V1.46
Parsing...
Semanting...

Monkey Runtime Error : C:/Monkey/Schrott/t.monkey<9> : Internal error

(null)
STOPPED
Monkey Runtime Error : C:/Monkey/Schrott/t.monkey<9> : Internal error

(null)
Done.

Perhaps the problem was already solved in the V7xx versions... Thank you

Goodlookinguy
