Thanks a lot for the tip, Robin. I am using a windows version of chuck that is less than a month old. So I guess, your patch isn't committed. Thanks again! Regards Kiran On Wed, Oct 23, 2013 at 8:02 AM, Robin Haberkorn < robin.haberkorn@googlemail.com> wrote:

Mhh, I was even using static string references directly:

turns out, I submitted a patch for this last year...

So if you're using the latest version, the patch still isn't upstream.

Hi!

If I recall correctly, this was indeed a bug in ChucK's codebase, but it's been a while since I looked at it.

As a workaround you may do the following:

public class A { static string @a[]; } ["Hello world"] @=> A.a;

Then you should be able to access the string as A.a[0] since member "a" will be an array reference (which is not considered primitive). I've used such static string arrays in my code.

Also wrapping the string in a class (or even deriving from string?) may work.

Best regards, Robin

Hi

When I click 'add shred' with the following code:

public class A { static string a; }

it throws following message:

[*unnamed1]:line(3): cannot declare static non-primitive objects (yet)... [*unnamed1]:line(3): ...(hint: declare as ref (@) & initialize outside for now)

as if string is non-primitive.

And when I follow the suggestion and use a ref

public class A { static string @ a; }

it throws the following message:

[*unnamed1]:line(3): cannot declare references (@) of primitive type 'string'... [*unnamed1]:line(3): ...(primitive types: 'int', 'float', 'time', 'dur')

as if string is a primitive type.

Is it a code limitation or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Kiran
