What did you do?

const (
	$if macos {
		a = 1
	} $else {
		a = 2
	}
)

fn main() {
	eprintln('$a')
}

What did you expect to see?

macos$ 1

What did you see instead?

test.v:2:2: error: unexpected `$`, expecting `name`
    1 | const (
    2 |     $if macos {
      |     ^
    3 |         a = 1
    4 |     } $else {

If you need a workaround : put the const in backend specific files, ending with _darwin, _unix, etc. 🙂

$if does not work outside of functions. It is not a bug, just not implemented yet.
