[chuck-users] is 'string' a primitive type?

[Kiran O.V.]

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
