Description

M = 10
a = @SVector [1 for _ in 1:M] # working

put it in a function:

function test()
    M = 10
    a = @SVector [1 for _ in 1:M]
end

then it would throw error:

ERROR: LoadError: UndefVarError: `M` not defined
Stacktrace:
 [1] top-level scope

@SVector, @SArray, @SMatrix, @MVector, @MArray, @MMatrix all behave the same.

Research direction

Reproduce the function example with @SVector, @SArray, @SMatrix, @MVector, @MArray, and @MMatrix, then inspect the macro implementations, including static_vector_gen in src/SVector.jl. Done means construction with a local M works inside a function for all six macros without the reported UndefVarError.
