Description Amit Mookerjee CLA 2010-12-16 18:18:26 EST 
XDCtools throws the following error:

generating interfaces for package idiom (because package/package.xdc.inc is older than ModA.xdc) ...
    translating ModA
----------
1. ERROR in package/idiom.java (at line 137)
	po.addFld("id", $$T_Str, Global.eval(""one" + "two""), "w");
	                                       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Syntax error on tokens, delete these tokens
----------
1 problem (1 error)error:  internal java compilation error


while compiling the following RTSC module.

/* ModA.xdc */
module ModA {
......... 
     config String id = "one" + "two";
.........
}


Obviously the RTSC spec. does not support the familiar "+" javascript operation on strings which would be a nice addition. Meanwhile XDCtools can throw a more meaningful error referring to the problem in the spec. file itself.
