John M. Dlugosz 提到: What is the difference between (1,2,3) and [1,2,3] ? One is a List and one is an Array; you cannot push into a list, but you can into an array. my @a := (1,2,3); my @b := [1,2,3]; @a.push(4); # fails @b.push(4); # works Cheers, Audrey

Currently, PARROT_API is declared similar to this. #if defined(PARROT_IN_EXTENSION) #define PARROT_API __declspec(dllimport) #else #define PARROT_API __declspec(dllexport) #endif That is, only import if we're in an extension, otherwise export. IMHO, this isn't quite right. Export and import s

[perl #41508] [BUG] Configure losing flags...

Last weekend tetragon and I had considerable discussion on #parrot about this problem. My diagnosis was that we should not be handling command-line options at all in 'hints' files; they should be handled in inter::progs. The patch attached removes options handling from config/init/hints/darwin.pm
