squirrel enum

[SummerBulb]

Can anyone please tell me why the SQDEV interpreter doesn't like the following code?

Code: Select all

class A{

 enum B { 
 	AVal,
 	  BVal
 	  }

};

The red line is under the B

Thanks.

Because that's not valid syntax in squirrel. See http://squirrel-lang.org/doc/squirrel2.html for the language documentation.

this:

Code: Select all

enum Stuff {
  first, //this will be 0
  second, //this will be 1
  third //this will be 2
}

was taken from that exact page which i've already read. Still, is doesn't work.

Are you refering to this:

Code: Select all

          enumerations := ( ‘id’ '=' Integer | Float | StringLiteral ) [‘,’]
          stat:= 'enum' id '{' enumerations '}'

I'm not sure i understood that. I'll go try it out and be right back.

[edit:]

The last part looks to me like a formal definition of the enum. But that looks just like what i already did.

Defining an enum inside a class in not possible in squirrel, I was referring to that. Classes in squirrel are tables with some extra syntactic sugar.

so?
how is it done?

this:

Code: Select all

class A{        
};

enum id { 
	A=1,
	B=2
	 };

doesn't work either.

Squirrel compiles that code without any errors, if SQDev doesn't support it that's a problem in SQDev and should be reported to it's developers, not here.

SQDev doesn't support many of Squirrel 2.2 syntax elements. Default parameters are not supported either.

Ok.

Thanks all.
