Re: [Vala] const in Vala

Hello Jan,

constants may only be declared outside methods. Try moving the bufferSize declaration out of the method, to the head of the file.

The error message is misleading nonetheless. I'd file a bug report. ;)

So long,
Raphael

Okay:

public static string getline() {
    const int bufferSize = 32;
    string @return = "", buffer;

    do
    {
        char[] temp = new char[bufferSize];
        stdin.gets(temp);
        buffer = (string)temp;
        @return += buffer;
    }
    while(buffer.length + 1 == bufferSize);

    return @return;
}

I'm using valac 0.5.1 on Windows.
