I stumbled across a bug where `perl6 --doc` fails to parse the file if it
contains inline PIR. Not just any inline PIR, only PIR that calls the
'find_lex' opcode within a method.
Consider the following code:
=begin pod
Some text
=end pod
class Foo;
method foobar() {
my $string := 'Why does POD6 hate me so much?';
Q:PIR {
$P0 = find_lex '$string'
};
}
Running `perl6 --doc` gives a lovely IMCC error:
Use of uninitialized value in string context
Use of uninitialized value in string context
===SORRY!===
error:imcc:syntax error, unexpected '\n'
in file '(file unknown)' line 242
The "unexpected" character can vary sometimes. If I add:
self = new $P0
after the call to 'find_lex', I get two "unexpected" characters:
error:imcc:syntax error, unexpected '=', expecting '(' ('=')
in file '(file unknown)' line 253
error:imcc:syntax error, unexpected '\n'
in file '(file unknown)' line 256
It's only under those conditions though: only with the 'find_lex' opcode and
only inside a method definition. I can't understand why any non-pod text
after an `=end pod` would affect the rendering of POD.
