Attributes

Warning

This feature was added in build 23 runtime 8.

Attributes are used to mark certain data with some information, such as if the data is read-only, etc. You can assign attributes with @.

.data
    @final
    intg myInteger: 0
.start
    mov &myInteger, 23 ; error

List of available attributes

Identifier	Description
final	Marks data as read-only.
static	Marks data immune to move semantics, static variables and objects cannot be moved. Nor can you move data to static variables and objects.
mangle	Tells the compiler to mangle namespaces into label names at compile time.
safe	Prevents the JIT compiler from fetching address of a safe variable.

Multiple attributes in one line

Warning

This feature was added in build 28.

In order not to waste virtual CPU cycles, instead of doing:

.data
    @final ; this
    @static ; and this are treated as 2 different instructions,
            ; although they are both applied to 'test'
    intg test: 0
    @static
    intg test2: 0

You can just do:

.data
    @final, static ; now just do all of them once
    intg test: 0
    @static
    intg test2: 0
