- Comma operator [committed]
- Inline "for" declaration [committed]
- "-O" flag bug fix [committed]
- Inline "for" declaration in loop without increment part [committed]
- Array initialization [sent patch]->[received your change]
This last subproject is in draft state. The tests works, but as I wrote you, 
there are some dirty stuff to clean and some optimization to do. I will now 
integrate your changes to moto.y and start cleaning up a bit. I have created 
a branch sc_array_init_dev to work on this. We can then clean it up later on. 

About type verification:
  
This gets an error (right behaviour): 

   String [] ints = {"1", "2", 3};
   for (i = 0; i < length(ints); i++) {
    print ints[i] + " ";
   }

tests/array_init.moto:54: Variable of type <String[]> cannot store type 
<int[]>

This dies with a MotoException (not handled, so no output) when it  tries to 
setVarVal the second initializer.

   int strings[] = {1,"2",3};
   for (i = 0; i < length(strings); i++) {
      print strings[i] + " ";
   }

I have noticed a lot of test fail (memory) after merging with your latest 
changes in the repo. Is it a known behaviour or is it a mistake from my side? 
Probably you are working hard on something "inner" during these hours...

How can I configure moto on webcodex? On my machine I have installed 
everything as "root" with prefix=/usr and then I compile as "devel" with the 
same prefix without installing. Then I run make test as "devel". How can I do 
the same on webcodex? 

./configure --prefix=?????
