[Pugs] Bitten by Pugs chomp

I'm unsure how chomp() should work with p6; it's not listed in S29 yet. Should the semantics of g.p6 below be the same for p5 and p6? It produces different output when run with p5 compared to pugs, at least that's my sleepy brain sees. # cat g.p6 my @x = ( "a\n", "1", "x\n" ); for (@x) { print "1

[Pugs] 6.0.12 released.

I am very happy to announce Pugs 6.0.12, with full support for source code written in UTF-8, and Perl5-compatible regular expression matching as rx:perl5//. With this release out, I will divert some of my time on the Compiler backend. See http://use.perl.org/~autrijus/journal/23757 and tomorrow's

[PATCH] Return a varying number of values in IMCC (buggy)

The attached patch is supposed to do two things: 1. Makes it possible to say ".flatten foo" as part of a .pcc_begin_return/.pcc_end_return sequence. Remarkably, this part of the patch is only a one-line change; the internals for call & return are closer than the syntax. 2. Makes ".fla

nothing

Does Perl need a no-op function? With the addition of "no bare literals", it makes constructs like 1 while some_func(); an error. I propose creating a no-op function "nothing" that can be used here or anywhere else you specifically wish to do nothing at all. given $this { when Even { nothing

C is an odd sort of function. AFAIK, it's the only optimization hint that we have. Will the P6RE even use this information, and is it worth keeping? My gut feeling tells me that it will be useful again around 6.2, and we should keep it around until then as a potential no-op. Comments? -- Rod Ad
