Resolving this issue would simplify contract auditing. As of now contract writers create read-only contract fields initialized with immutable contract parameters to be able to read those. And the dead code detector reports these fields in warning which can be distracting from actual errors when the contract author forgot to put in code that updates a field.
This has been asked to be implemented by some users. CC @chetan-zilliqa
Moving this to v0.14. It's an important issue, but because of the integration with the state database we won't have time to do it in time for v0.13.
We currently only support remote reads of the mutable state of a contract, but not of the immutable state (the contract parameters).
To support this we need the following:
ByStr20 with contract (x : Uint128) ... end
.x <-& c.(x)
._cparam_<parameter name>
), so that we can fetch them in the same way as we do for mutable fields, but that requires a database migration.
