arrays as constant

[Thomas008]

While using constants of simple types as integers and strings works fine, using constants of an array yields to warnings when compiling. It results in an executable, but it is faulty and stops when trying to run.
Here is an example:

const a = mfill(m"", 2)
const a[1] = m"a"
const a[2] = m"b"

function f()
  if a[1] == m"a"
    printf(c"equal")
  end
  printf(c"end")
  0
end

compile_executable(f, (), "C:\\jul\\staticcompiler")

[brenhinkeller]

Any reference to an object that is generated outside of the compiled code and stored on the heap / accessed by memory address will generally result in a segfault in the compiled code, as the stored memory address will no longer be valid when the code is run.

This is for the forseeable future an unavoidable consequence of the compilation approach in this package, but the "juliac" approach should avoid this
