Constant Strings can't convert to int(or double) properly

[ZippeyKeys12]

Code: Select all • Expand view

const x="12";
int y=x.ToInt();
console.printf("%d",y);

Prints 0

Code: Select all • Expand view

int y="12".ToInt();
console.printf("%d",y);

Prints 0
But...

Code: Select all • Expand view

String x="12";
int y=x.ToInt();
console.printf("%d",y);

Prints 12
I don't think this is intended, and while running ToInt() on a literal is pointless, some may want to run it on a constant.

EDIT: Also happens with ToDouble()

The compiler really accepts this? I am not surprised that it fails. To call a function you need to take the address of a variable. For a constant that's not possible at the moment.

Moved to "on hold" because I really do not have any good idea how to deal with this.
