What is the correct syntax to create and assign a byte array in 9.2?

[romannk]

Forgive me if I am being a little thick. I have some code along the
lines of

b = array(byte,(123,234,123))

 to declare and initialise an array of bytes.

This is now flagged by the compiler -  WARNING:
'Boo.Lang.Builtins.array(System.Type, System.Collections.ICollection)'
is obsolete.

I had a look at   BOO-1203 but it isn't clear to me exactly how to
translate

dataBytes = array[of byte](some_byte_enumerable)

 into something suitable for this situation that is suitably wrist
friendly.

Could someone point me in the right direction please?

This warning will not be shown when array(Type, ICollection) signature will be removed in next release, the array(Type, IEnumerable) being still available this is a source-compatible change.

 

I had a look at          BOO-1203 but it isn't clear to me exactly how to

dataBytes = array[of byte](some_byte_enumerable)

Since you initialize your array with another literal array, you could use :
b = array[of byte]((of byte: 123,234,123))

Which makes obvious that the array declaration is actually not needed at all since you already use a literal array,
so you can cut it to only :
b = (of byte: 123, 234, 123)


Cheers,

Thank you Cedric for your speedy and informative reply. Just what I
wanted, works a treat.
