----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
Named arguments in Parrot don't appear to accept unicode identifiers.
Here's a test program:
{{{
$ cat x.pir
# Perl 6: foo(ä => 1);
.sub 'main' :main
'foo'(1 :named(unicode:"\x{e4}"))
.end
# Perl 6: sub foo(:$ä) { say "ok $ä"; }
.sub 'foo'
.param int x :named(unicode:"\x{e4}")
print "ok "
say x
.end
$ ./parrot x.pir
error:imcc:syntax error, unexpected USTRINGC, expecting STRINGC
('unicode:"\x{e4}"')
in file 'x.pir' line 3
error:imcc:syntax error, unexpected USTRINGC, expecting STRINGC
('unicode:"\x{e4}"')
in file 'x.pir' line 8
$
}}}
As with TT #575, it's possible that all that is needed here is an update
to IMCC.
This fix is needed for unicode named arguments in Rakudo -- see RT #65512
.
