[swift-users] Inconsistent behaviour of forward declarations

[Dan Cutting]

Hi,

This code builds and runs fine:

func foo() -> Int { return soon + 1 }
let soon = 1

But the following code has a compilation error (“Use of unresolved identifier ‘soon’”):

func foo() -> Int { return soon + 1 }
let wat = true
let soon = 1

Any ideas why? Is this a bug in Swift or intended behaviour?

I might expect either or neither of these to work, but to have one work and one fail is perplexing.

Thanks,
Dan
