17:51 <@jnthn> It's possible it is something that didn't work in the
first place, or something that came
up in postcircumfix changes and we didn't have tests to
identify...
17:53 < pasteling> "Matt-W" at 81.101.136.8 pasted "Object attribute
arrays and negative indices" (15
lines, 276B) at http://sial.org/pbot/34079
17:53 < Matt-W> I'm using a Rakudo I updated from svn about half an hour
ago
17:54 < masak> Matt-W: should be recent enough :)
17:54 < Matt-W> It works, by the way, when the array is not part of an
object
17:54 < masak> rakudo: class A { has @.foo; method bar { @.foo[0] =
"Hey" } }; A.new.bar
17:54 < p6eval> rakudo 34432: RESULT«"Hey"»
17:55 < masak> rakudo: class A { has @.foo; method bar { @.foo[0] =
"Hey"; say @.foo[*-1] } }; A.new.bar
17:55 < p6eval> rakudo 34432: OUTPUT«Null PMC access in
find_method()current instr.: 'parrot;A;_block40'
pc 446 (EVAL_13:170)»
17:55 < masak> there it is.
17:55 < Matt-W> yup
17:55 < Matt-W> that's exactly it
