Construction and Initialization of repr types other than P6opaque

2006-01-09 Thread Stevan Little
Hello again, In Pugs, we are currently trying to figure out how classes are initialized with $repr types other than P6opaque. My interpretation of S12 is that P6opaque types are initialized as follows (by default): &new is called with named arguments, it then calls &bless passing in 'P6op

S12: Possible contradiction in responsibilities of Class & Object

Hello all, I have been reading the recently updated Synopsis 12, and a few things jumped out at me. In the "Classes" section, classes are described like this: Classes are primarily for instance management, not code reuse. Later in the same section the following is stated: Every cl

Re: facades, use_ok, and lexical export

2006-01-09 Thread Yuval Kogman
What we need to do is find a way to do this at compile time. One way is to make use_ok a macro. The whole thing with linkage in Perl 6 is that it's supposed to happen at compile time so that things are overall saner, but that it can happen at runtime if we really really mean it. use_ok as a func

facades, use_ok, and lexical export

2006-01-09 Thread Gaal Yahas
Consider use_ok from the test system. Essentially, it should be require $module; $module.import; pass "load $module"; in its caller's context. But now that exportation is lexical, how can use_ok be implemented? It must divert the symbols installed by &import and have them installed in the call

Re: What about Test::Unit?

2006-01-09 Thread Matisse Enzer
Thanks for the responses. I have indeed started to look at Test::Class. A major point raised here about Test::Unit is that it doesn't integrate with Test::Builder, which I hadn't considered. Another issue is that because TU so closely matches jUnit it is "less Perlish", and I think that is
