Re^2: About the opcodes of Perl

Hah,I missed that...

I also found that RETURN alone does something similar:

#define RETURN        return (PUTBACK, NORMAL)
[download]

Why perl uses so many different ways to do the same thing?

The version I download is 5.14.1,which may not be the newest.

huh, none of `RETURNOP(cLOGOP->op_other); RETURNOP(cLOGOP->op_next); RETURN; return NORMAL;` [download] don't do the same thing. The fourth could probably use a more consistent name, but they other three are rather consistent. I don't see the complain.	[reply] [d/l]
