hi, IIRC (currently no pc around to check, but I realized this issue when reading on objects pdd), calling a method in PIR can be done as follows:
$P0.'someMethod'() but also: .local string meth /* or maybe a pmc ?*/ meth = 'someMethod' $P0.meth() However, this looks like as if the object in $P0 has a method called 'meth', just as a class object has methods like 'inspect', and 'roles'. This is imho a bit unfortunate, it makes this syntax a bit ambiguous. It gets tricky if you have some variable that goes by the same name, like 'inspect', or 'roles'. So, I would suggest to disallow arbitrary objects holding methods for this syntax; only allow for strings as method names, or barenames if they are known to be methods on the PMC. kjs
