[JASS] Need help with Zinc

[Bribe]

1. Using zinc, I have not been able to figure out how to implement a readonly struct member. Is there a way I can turn off the zinc check from within the struct to do this, or some other workaround?

2. Do I really have to put "this" as a prefix before every "." ? Or am I encountering this weirdness because of some other error I've made?

3. I should note that I'm doing this using the //! zinc & //! endzinc tags.

to question 2 I think only "." should work

    struct output {
        private string msg;
        
        method doWhat() {
            BJDebugMsg(msg);
        }
        
        static method create(string msg) -> thistype {
            thistype dat=allocate();
            dat.msg=msg;
            dat.doWhat();
            
            return(dat);
        }
    }

This compiled correctly for me, so I'm certain that the struct members are referenced the exact same way. I just skimmed through the zinc manual, haha, looks pretty interesting.

This is the full script:

//! zinc
library HelloWorld {
    
    struct output {
        private string msg;
        
        method doWhat() {
            BJDebugMsg(msg);
        }
        
        static method create(string msg) -> thistype {
            thistype dat=allocate();
            dat.msg=msg;
            dat.doWhat();
            
            return(dat);
        }
    }
    
}
//! endzinc

I have to say writing

method operator wantOnLoopEx() -> boolean { return .iHaveOnLoopEx; }

Is infinitely better.

The only thing which kept me on zinc are anonymous functions.
