Both ordinary and C-suffixed double-quoted literals produce C_STRING; STRING contexts use its IMPLICIT constructor. A negative integer or real literal is allowed. As required by the Cambridge guide, variables, other constants, expressions, casts, and function calls cannot initialize a CONSTANT. A constant is visible from its declaration to the end of its enclosing block. A top-level constant is also available in functions and procedures defined after its declaration. Functions do not inherit constants from another function or from an enclosing statement block. |
