Create a sub of a particular type

2008-05-16 Thread Jonathan Worthington
Hi, In Perl 6 we need to be able to have Parrot subs take on a range of different types. For example, those that are methods should be of type Method, others of type Block, Submethod and so forth. I'd like to propose a type adverb for subs. .sub 'foo' :method :type('Submethod') ... .end

Conditions with always true components

2008-05-16 Thread Alberto Simões
Hi, Folks. There are a few files on the parrot source where the compiler complains about a logic value that is always true. Let us check a specific case: on src/jit_emit.h:231, if (!base && !(i && scale) && (!emit_is8bit(disp) || 1)) { This is exactly if (!base && !(i && scale)) { N
