This works:

int main(char[][] args) {
auto var = 3.14159;
printf("Hello world!");
printf("%f", var);
return 0;
}

but this makes the compiler hang:

auto var = 3.14159;

int main(char[][] args) {
printf("Hello world!");
printf("%f", var);
return 0;
}

Best regards,
Tommy

I reported this a few days ago. Walter says that 'auto' was not intended to be used at the module level, but he'll consider doing something about that.

That could mean he'll flag it as an error or he'll allow it - I'm not sure which.
