    Properties

    identifier

    • identifier: string

    The identifier of the global variable that should be available inside the program.

    Since

    0.10.0

    Defined in

    kipper/core/src/compiler/runtime-built-ins.ts:130


    local

    • local: boolean

    If true then the variable is local to the current file. If false then the variable is global and can be accessed from any file.

    This is primarily used to differentiate between local and global variables during the code generation process, since local ones will usually be initialised like any other variables, while globals will be registered on a global object.

    Since

    0.10.0

    Defined in

    kipper/core/src/compiler/runtime-built-ins.ts:145


    valueType

    • valueType: KipperCompilableType

    The type of the variable.

    Since

    0.10.0

    Defined in

    kipper/core/src/compiler/runtime-built-ins.ts:135
