causing the > problem you're seeing. Again, I believe this is what Bob was saying: it's not possible to be faithful to the original p5 source without creating a separate subroutine for every loop body. And there are reasons why that's a bad idea (even if that's what they are in Perl 6): - It introduces extra overhead in terms of the compiled code - It's extra work for the compiler – introducing an extra pass for lexical analysis The alternative (which Bob is suggesting) is to reintroduce push_pad/pop_pad so you can create new lexical scopes without using subroutines for loop bodies. His suggestion seems reasonable to me. We won't run into this particular problem with Tcl, but I think most languages will. -- Matt Diephouse http://matt.diephouse.com

Variables, Aliasing, and Undefined-ness

2005-12-15 Thread Matt Diephouse
assignment fails with a "Null PMC access" error. So what am I supposed to do? It appears that using `null` to mark deleted/undefined variables won't work. But it's not clear to me that using a Null PMC is a good idea (then we must perform `'isa` tests on every read to see if that variable is undefined, which seems like it would be expensive). So what's the "correct" way to do this? -- matt diephouse http://matt.diephouse.com

ent matter. Python's function may be variables, but Python still knows that they're functions. So Python can use add_sub to add the function to Tcl's namespace.
