When building parrot from scratch, this command gets run:
/usr/bin/perl tools/build/pmc2c.pl --dump src/pmc/default.pmc
Can't call method "methods" on unblessed reference at
/data/parrot/tools/build/../../lib/Parrot/Pmc2c/PMC/default.pm line 25.
make: *** [src/pmc/default.dump] Error 255
This happens because of this line from lib/Parrot/Pmc2c/Parser.pm (142,143):
$pmc->vtable($pmc2cMain->read_dump("vtable.pmc"));
$pmc->pre_method_gen();
read_dump always returns a hashref, not a blessed object.
inside of $pmc->pre_method_gen, it tries access a methods object
from the vtables:
foreach my $method ( @{ $self->vtable->methods } ) {
It can be easily fixed by peeking down inside the vtable object,
but it would be cleaner to have it as a method and I don't know
what the original intent was.
