#539: NQP does not autovivify "our @" but does for "my @"
-------------------+--------------------------------------------------------
Reporter: bsdz | Type: bug
Status: new | Priority: normal
Milestone: | Component: nqp
Version: trunk | Severity: medium

Patch: | Platform: all
-------------------+--------------------------------------------------------
When declaring a list using "my" NQP autovifies whereas with "our" it does
not.
i.e.
{{{
load_bytecode('library/dumper.pbc');
our @our_list;
@our_list.push('some data');
_dumper(@our_list, 'our_list');
my @my_list;
@my_list.push('some data');
_dumper(@my_list, 'my_list');
}}}
outputs :-
{{{
"our_list" => ResizablePMCArray (size:0) [
]
"my_list" => ResizablePMCArray (size:1) [
"some data"
]
}}}
whereas one should expect: -
{{{
"our_list" => ResizablePMCArray (size:1) [
"some data"
]
"my_list" => ResizablePMCArray (size:1) [
"some data"
]
}}}
A workaround is to declare an "our" scoped list as follows: -
{{{
our @our_list := ('dummy' , 'dummy');
@our_list.shift();
@our_list.shift();
@our_list.push('some data');
_dumper(@our_list, 'our_list');
}}}
