Overview
Trying to access a key from a
Const dict
threw aSemanticError
stating type mismatch. AnASR pass error
was thrown when trying to access values from aConst list
,Const tuple
andConst str
. This was chiefly because the case of aConst
value was not addressed in handling subscript indices.Fix
Check for
Const
when visiting subscript indices and handle item access through the contained type in thellvm
back-end.Throw a
SemanticError
for immutable types liketuple
andstr
.Tuple
String
Dictionary
List
Note
The
get
attribute ofConst dict
still throws aSemanticError
now. I will push the fix for that in a separate PR.
