I'm having some fun playing with compiler, and I'm starting
to wonder what the best way to give you feedback would be?
Should I just note what I tried which did not work, such as
that any use of a hyper-assignment-operator (e.g.
@a ^+= @b; )
causes a runtime exception:
Died at P6C/Util.pm line 72.
Or should I submit it as a testcase? Is there some way
to indicate that the test is expected to fail?
output_is(<<'CODE', <<'OUT', "string interpolation");
sub main () {
$z = 1; @a = (1..3); $z1 = @a;
#currently outputs: z=($z) a=() \=@a=($z1)
print "z=($z) a=(@a) \$z1=\@a=($z1)\n";
}
CODE
z=(1) a=(1 2 3) $z1=@a=(3)
OUT
And how to we check if something has already been
reported, or what the current plans are to get rid
of the sub main() requirement?
You give your email address as the contact
point for the compiler, so I guess that means we
should send bug reports directly to you. (unless
they are disguised as a request for clarification
on how to report them...)
One final test case, and I'll stop.
output_is(<<'CODE', <<'OUT', "concatenation chain");
sub main() {
@a = (2,4,8);
print @a _ "\n"; # OK: 3
print @a ^_ "\n"; # OK: 2\n4\n8\n
print @a ^_ "\t" _ "\n"; # BAD: ''
print (@a ^_ "\t"); # OK: 2\t4\t8\t
print "next\n";
print "--" _ (@a ^_ "\t"); # BAD: --
print "next\n";
print ((@a ^_ "\t") _ "\n"); # BAD: ''
print "stop\n";
}
CODE

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
