Leo clarified this as a problem with backward branch circa 3/12/03:
Sorry to be a pain in the butt, but I need to be told that there has
been no improvement in the last two months on this ;-(
.sub _main
goto L1
test:
$I1 = 1
ret
L1:
$I2 = 2
call test
print $I2 # prints 1, not 2
end
.end
Surely it can't just be me that thinks this is rather fundamental?
How fundamental *is* the problem, can it *ever* be fixed?
Again, sorry to be a pain, but I'd like the truth/an update, please!
Or some hints... file level variables... better ways to code this...
Pete
PS use parrot -o and examine the output .pasm:, $I1 and $I2 (or
.local int i, .local int j) get assigned the same register.
