Here's a little bit of code paraphrased from a program I'm trying to write in
Nim:
1 let foo:float64 = 200.
2 let bar = "x"
Run
This does not compile:
dca@franz:/tmp$ nim compile testit.nim
Hint: used config file '/etc/nim.cfg' [Conf]
Hint: system [Processing]
Hint: testit [Processing]
testit.nim(2, 1) Error: invalid indentation
Run
This works:
1 let foo:float64 = 200
2 let bar = "x"
Run
as does this:
1 let foo:float64 = 200.0
2 let bar = "x"
Run
I think this disagrees with the BNF given in the Nim Manual, specifically this:
FLOAT_LIT = digit (['_'] digit)* (('.' (['_'] digit)* [exponent]) |exponent)
Run
The parenthesized construct after '.', namely, (['_'] digit)*, says that
**zero** or more digits are required in this position (after the decimal point).
This would appear to be an error in the compiler or the BNF. If I've missed
something, please explain. Thanks.
