=== Dictionary Definitions
|
|
|
|
If the optional keyword `dictionary` appears in a type definition or
|
|
a constant definition, then that definition is called a
|
|
*dictionary definition*.
|
|
A dictionary definition instructs the code generator to include
|
|
the definition in the ground dictionary.
|
|
|
|
==== Semantics
|
|
|
|
If a constant definition _D_ is a dictionary definition, then the
|
|
expression appearing in _D_ must have one of the following types:
|
|
|
|
* A <<Types_Internal-Types_Numeric-Types,numeric type>>.
|
|
* The <<Types_The-Boolean-Type,Boolean type>>.
|
|
* A <<Types_String-Types,string type>>.
|
|
* An <<Types_Enum-Types,enum type>>.
|
|
|
|
If a type definition _D_ is a dictionary definition, then the type
|
|
defined by _D_ must be a <<Types_Displayable-Types, displayable type>>.
|
|
|
|
==== Examples
|
|
|
|
[source,fpp]
|
|
----
|
|
dictionary type T = U32
|
|
dictionary array A = [3] string
|
|
dictionary constant a = 0
|
|
|
|
enum E { X, Y }
|
|
dictionary constant b = E.X
|
|
|
|
type T1
|
|
dictionary type T2 = T1 # Error: T2 is not displayable
|
|
|
|
dictionary constant c = { x = U32 } # Error: struct type is not allowed
