Top Level StringLiteral constants

[Arthur Buldauskas]

Bug Report

Overview

Top level StringLiterals fail validation, they should not. Instead, they should compile out to a constant i32 pointer to the data location for a string.

Expected

Top level strings are allowed

Actual

Strings in top-level constants throw validation warnings.

Example

const memory: Memory<{ initial: 1 }>;
const myString: i32 = 'hello world';
export function test(): i32 {
  return myString;
}
