Global constant should now be working as before. I've even improved it a
little. Now, global variables, being constant or not, can be initialized using
expressions that use other global variables and global properties registered by
the host application, they do not have to be constants. The order of
initialization is depending partly on the order of declaration but also on
dependency, i.e if a global variable "a" is being initialized with a variable
"b" declared further down in the file, the initialization of "a" will be
postponed until the used variable "b" has been initialized.
Global variables can also be initialized with expressions using the condition
operator ?:, the only thing that cannot be done is using the incremental
operators, assignments, nor function calls.
I've fixed a bug that prevented scripts from declaring global variables as
pointers. Thanks Gunder Wulde for spotting that.
A slight design flaw has been discovered Andrew "Desdemona" Wright, and that is
related to function overloading. The problem is that a literal integer constant
do not decide to use a function taking an int as parameter if there is also
another function taking a float, in this case it gives an error reporting the
two functions as multiple matches. Currently the solution is to manually cast
to int, but I'll change AngelScript to give preference to a cast between int
and uint over a cast between integer and floating point.
There is yet another flaw where a pointer cannot be assigned a 0, if the
pointer type is using behaviour functions. The problem is that the 0 isn't a
reference. AngelScript will resolve this by placing the 0 in a temporary
variable for the assignment.
The next version fixing these two problems should be out any day now.
