Parameters

Properties

identifier

• Readonly 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/semantics/runtime-built-ins/built-in-variable.ts:13

local

• Readonly 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.
