Nevertheless some compilers allow even external functions. On the other hand at least build-in functions seem to be useful within constant definitions (e.g. to initialise long bitstrings with â€˜0â€™). Also the usage of TTCN-3 functions considering restrictions according to clause 16.1.4 â€œRestrictions for functions called from specific placesâ€ seem to be suitable.<br />
Anyway it would be helpful to give examples of constant definitions to illustrate what shall be allowed and what is not allowed. <br />
Compilers should generate at least a warning, when a constant declaration contains not allowed parts.<br />
</td></tr><tr class="print"><td class="print-category">Steps To Reproduce</td><td class="print" colspan="5"></td></tr><tr class="print"><td class="print-category">Additional Information</td><td class="print" colspan="5">The TTCN-3 standard core language is stating that the constant value shall be known at compile time. While this may be a clear requirement for compiler experts, may not be sufficient for most of the users. It shall explicitly be stated that in constant expressions only the following elements are allowed:<br />
â€¢	literal values,<br />
â€¢	constants,<br />
â€¢	predefined conversion functions (int2unichar, int2bit, int2hex, int2oct, int2str, int2float, float2int, char2int, char2oct, unichar2int, bit2int, bit2hex, bit2oct, bit2str, hex2int, hex2bit, hex2oct, hex2str, oct2int, oct2bit, oct2hex, oct2str, oct2char, str2int, str2oct, str2float), provided all their parameters are either literal values or constants;<br />
â€¢	predefined functions lengthof, sizeof, ispresent, ischosen, regexp, substr, replace and (decomp) provided their parameters are either literal values or constants.<br />
<br />
Thus, the predefined functions rnd and sizeoftype are not allowed. In principle, valueof could be considered BUT we think the gained feature does NOT pays of the complexity of the implementation (valueof non-parameterized templates that are using at maximum the above predefined functions and other non-parameterized templates or templates parameterized with literal or constant values and again usingâ€¦).<br />
