I agree, I a syntax like this would have been nicer:
@mtype("key" : "value") int a; or @mtype(key : "value") int a;
@mtype("value") int b;
@mtype int c;
Part of what I was trying to do was minimizing inventing new syntaxes. The
[ ArgumentList ]
invents nothing new but the brackets. Your proposal is both a new
syntax, and it can only do key/value pairs - nothing else.
It depends on how you look at it.
* @mtype - is the same syntax as the current syntax for attributes
* @mtype("key" : "value") - Uses the above in combination with the
syntax for associative array literals
How about this then:
@mtype("foo", 3, "bar") int a;
And have the argument list be optional? I really like to have a short
nice looking syntax for the simple use cases, i.e.
@mtype int b;
