Trailing commas (`[1, 2,]`) are not allowed. Trailing commas (`[1, 2,]`) are not allowed.
String literals are laid out in the arrays as-is, flat.
To have an array of pointers to strings, wrap each string in `pointer(...)`:
// a.length = 12; identical to [$48, $45, $4C, $4C, $4F, 0, $57, $4F, $52, $4C, $44, 0]
array a = [ "hello"z, "world"z ]
// b.length = 2
array(pointer) b = [ pointer("hello"z), pointer("world"z) ]
The parameters for `file` are: file path, optional start offset, optional length The parameters for `file` are: file path, optional start offset, optional length
(if only two parameters are present, then the second one is assumed to be the start offset). (if only two parameters are present, then the second one is assumed to be the start offset).
The `file` expression is expanded at the compile time to an array of bytes equal to the bytes contained in the file. The `file` expression is expanded at the compile time to an array of bytes equal to the bytes contained in the file.
