What are compile-time constants?

Cyclone’s compile-time constants are NULL, integer and character constants, and arithmetic operations over compile-time constants. Unlike C, sizeof(t) is not an integral constant expression in our current implementation of Cyclone because our compiler does not know the actual size of aggregate types; we hope to repair this in a future version. Constructs requiring compile-time constants are: tuple-subscript (e.g., x[3] for tuple x), sizes in array declarations (e.g., int y[37]), and sizes in pointer bounds (e.g., int * x{124}).
