Yeah, after looking it up, it looks like it is basically only used as either field access or an 'infer operator', is that right?
I thought it was used in four completely separate ways:
· normal struct field access
· anonymous struct definition
· field definition within structs (for reasons to do with the parser)
· an extra 'infer operator' for syntactic sugar
But there's no support for anonymous structs/fields, and all structs and fields require a type somewhere for it to be inferred. Which is why this is invalid zig:
const test = .{ .x = 0, .y = 1 };
(It would need the type to be specified in the called function definition, or inline when assigning)
Correct me if I'm wrong here! (And thank you)
