If you do string interpolation via
string s = @"some text $some_variable";
it produces a string like
some text 5
if 5 were the value of some_variable.
But if you put parentheses in, this gets defeated:
@("some text $some_variable")
just becomes
some text $some_variable
with no interpolation of the value of some_variable into the string.
Is this intentional?
This is with vala 0.28.1 on ubuntu 15.10.
(And of course it is a very tiny issue, if it is an issue at all. The reason it
came up in the first place was i had something more complicated,
@("a: $a\n" +
"b: $b\n" +
"c: $c\n")
and i was very surprised that this did not work. It can be fixed by the
slightly lengthier form
@"a: $a\n" +
@"b: $b\n" +
@"c: $c\n"
but i do wonder why grouping with parentheses has such a drastic effect.
And it also makes me wonder just what @ does and what it sees: clearly
it has greater visibility into its surroundings than just some function.)
Thanks in advance for any info.
