hello, I'm doing some research on PMCs, and thought it would be a good idea to try to create some new PMC type. (just for trying and get a grip of it) For that, I thought it would be easy to just copy the code from some existing PMC. I did the following:
I copied all the text from PerlInt.pmc and pasted that into a new file, called "FoobyNumber.pmc" (yeah, I know...the name) Saved the file in the parrot/classes dir. (I changed all occurrences of "PerlInt" to "FoobyNumber") Then I did: $ ./pmc2c.pl FoobyNumber.pmc That went ok. Then, I added to the file MANIFEST (just as described in the "Parrot Vtables" doc in the docs section on the site) the entry: classes/foobynumber.pmc at just after eval.pmc (so it's alphabetically on it's place) Then, in the parrot dir, I ran Configure.pl. That went ok, too Then, I ran make, didn't get any errors. Then, I created some really simple program like this: new P0, .FoobyNumber set P0, 123 print P0 print"\n" end Then, if I try to assemble it like this: $ assemble.pl -o pmctest.pbc pmctest.pasm I get these errors: Couldn't parse argument '.FoobyNumber' at line 1. Couldn't find operator 'new_p' on line 1. I also tried this same program with creating a PerlInt, and that went all right (the program just ran fine) Can anybody help me out with this? I'd be grateful. Regards, Klaas-Jan Stol
