Attached is the first draft of perlscalar.pmc (and the patches needed to add it to Parrot). (NB PerlScalar is type number 13 - but I don't think parrots are generally superstitious) This version is (hopefully) functionally equivalent to PerlUndef, i.e. it acts as an uninitialised scalar. When assigned a value, it changes itself to the appropriate type (PerlInt/PerlNum/ PerlString). The current level of functionality is therefore sufficient to use it for creation of new PMCs. Incidentally, how would a PerlScalar be returned to undef status? -- Peter Gibbs EmKel Systems -- attachment 1 ------------------------------------------------------ url: http://rt.perl.org/rt2/attach/33388/27470/f149bb/perlscalar.pmc -- attachment 2 ------------------------------------------------------ url: http://rt.perl.org/rt2/attach/33388/27471/74c551/perlscalar.patch
