Re: How can I get the current OP address (akin to PC)?

What use would it be to know the B::OP Code address?

It is one way to identify a location with finer granularity than a line number.	[reply]

I see. As I try to have only one instruction per line, I could not think of a good use for it. CountZero A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls.

Don't confuse Perl statements with B instructions. Again, if you reread carefully the thread cited on this Re^2: Identifying a location with finer granularity than a line number, you'll find the example: `($a/$b, $c/$d)` [download] If a "Runtime error: Illegal division by zero" occurs, one might like to know whether it occurred in the first expression in the array or the second. Now it is possible to rewrite this so there are more statements with fewer expressions and therefore fewer instructions in a statement and on a line. For example: `my $exp1 = $a/$b; my $exp2 = $c/$d; ($exp1, $exp2);` [download] But I doubt many do this. Even here, there is more than one expression and instruction on a line. Second, this is isn't about you. To gain nirvana, one needs to become at one with the world which is not the same thing as changing the world to your level of enlightenment. I have read that there are some who work with code written by an unenlightened untouchable caste.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
