overzealous out of order decl compiler error

[gewang]

encountering compiler error

iss-out-of-order.ck:6:13: error: variable/member 'a' is used before declaration
[6]         <<< a >>>;
                ^
iss-out-of-order.ck: ...in function 'void Foo.go()'

in the following program:

class Foo
{
    fun void go()
    {
        // this shouldn't produce an error, but does
        <<< a >>>;
    }
}

// decl and init
5 => int a;

possible problem: overzealous checking of decl order possible remedy: should handle global usage and func/classdef usage of a differently

another example

public class Foo
{
    BarFactory.make() @=> Bar bar;
}

class Bar
{
    "i am bar" => string name;
}

class BarChild extends Bar
{
    "i extend bar" => name;
}

class BarFactory
{
    fun static BarChild make()
    {
        return new BarChild;
    }
}
