At the moment, it is not technically guaranteed that f32/float is actually 32-bit and that f64 is actually 64-bit; they are platform dependent. Perhaps someday there will be a version of toc which does not compile to C, where that could be guaranteed.

To make declarations constant, use :: instead of :. e.g.

-x ::= 5+3; +x ::= 5+3;
y :: float = 5.123;

Here, “constant” means constant at compile time, not read-only as it does in C. One interesting thing about toc is that normal functions can run at compile time, so pretty much any expression is a valid initializer for a constant, e.g. doing x ::= some_function(); runs some_function at compile time, not at run time.
