Hi Gonzalo,
This is either a misfeature, bug, or exciting new programming paradigm,
depending on your point of view :)
To explain:
public class Foo {
1 => static int bar;
}
static int bar; properly declares bar as a static variable. ChucK's
"pre-constructor" concept executes all of the actual code in the body of
the class every time the class is instantiated. For some reason this
includes the 1 => static int bar; which just reduces to 1 => bar; since bar
already exists.
Truthfully this is a bug that should be changed to only set the value once
for static vars. In practice I do this:
public class Foo {
static int bar;
}
1 => Foo.bar;
which achieves the desired outcome with only minor inconvenience.

Hi,
This is weird behavior I think:
-------------------- public class Foo { 1 => static int bar; }
<<< Foo.bar >>>; // prints 0! Why?
Foo f; <<< Foo.bar >>>; // prints 1, ok
2 => Foo.bar; <<< Foo.bar >>>; // prints 2, ok
Foo f2; <<< Foo.bar >>>; // prints 1 again! --------------------
So it seems that static members get initialized only on instantiation, but to make it funky, on every instantiation...
Is this a buggy implementation of static members, or am I missing something? Not complaining, just a question. :)
