This is an important case to get right because it's code that is valid for stage1 which now has different function type semantics in stage2. It should be resolved in one of two ways:
- A compile error explaining that
testFn
is a runtime-known value and so its type must not be a compile-time-only type. A hint should say thatinline for
would solve this problem. A hint should also say that function bodies are comptime-only while function pointers are OK for runtime, and that&
can be used to convert a function body to its pointer. - Or it should implicitly cause the
for
to become aninline for
.
For the former, you can see stage1 already handles a similar case pretty well:
test "functions in an array" {
const types = [_]type{ i32, bool };
for (types) |T| {
_ = T;
}
}
$ ./stage1/bin/zig test test3.zig
./test3.zig:6:5: error: values of type 'type' must be comptime known, but index value is runtime known
for (types) |T| {
