Declaring a top-level payable constant results in CompileInferenceError

[gas1cent]

Environment

Latest release, v18.1.1

Scenario

When a payable constant is defined outside of a contract, the compiler throws a CompileInferenceError. No error is thrown in the same scenario but without payable.

To test put the following in sample.sol:

pragma solidity 0.8.24;
address payable constant SWAPROUTER_ADDRESS = payable(0xE592427A0AEce92De3Edee1F18E0157C05861564);

Then try to compile:

import { compileSol } from 'solc-typed-ast';
const result = compileSol('./sample.sol', 'auto');

Expected behavior

Successful compilation.

Current behavior

CompileInferenceError: Failed parsing imports at ./sample.sol:65:1 - Expected " ", "/*", "//", "[", "\t", "\x0B", "\x0C", "constant", " ", "", [ , , , - , , ,　], or [\n,\r,,] but "p" found.

Hey @blitz-1306, pinging you because you've helped us before. Any chance you could take a look at this issue? Huge thanks in advance 🙏🏻

@gas1cent Hello there and thanks for the input. I will look into it and provide feedback on this week. If there would be a fix, it would likely arrive on next week.

Okay, this is clearly a bug related to a file-level definitons parser, that we use to preprocess imports. I will look into a possible solution. Stay tuned.

See #256 with the bugfix. I believe we should be able to deliver it soon enough.

@gas1cent Release v18.1.2 is out. Feel free to test. Thank you.
