Enum Class IScope.ScopeType

java.lang.Object
java.lang.Enum<IScope.ScopeType>
org.ek9lang.compiler.symbols.IScope.ScopeType
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Comparable<IScope.ScopeType>, Constable
Enclosing interface:
IScope
public static enum IScope.ScopeType extends Enum<IScope.ScopeType>
The main type of scope in use a block is just like a set of instruction inside an if block or a while block whereas a non-block is as the whole class/function/component level. A dynamic-block is to de-mark a dynamic class or a dynamic function. For some operations (especially around generic/template processing) it is important to find the top-most block all the code has been defined in. So for variable definition it follows that same sort of logic as java not C/C++. You can have fields as variables with a name say 'v1' and parameters and block declarations of something as 'v1'. But once in a block scope then you cannot redefine 'v1'.
