13147 :: Aggregate initialization

• marc (orginal) [2025-06-26T13:50:51+02:00] view original

  Dear community,

  why it's not possible to initialize an aggregate datatype like var x = (a: 1, b: a + 10).

  This kind of initialization is defined since C++20 , so I think it should also be possible in nim?

  Cheers, Marcello

  no, we only do parallel init, so you can do it like so: var x = (let tmp = 1; (a: tmp, b: tmp+10))
