ACcording to PDD19:
If you directly reference P99, Parrot will blindly allocate 100 registers
It doesn't.
.sub main
P99 = new 'Integer'
P99 = 3
print P99
.end
running parrot -o - <file> gives the following, as does parrot -t <file>.
# IMCC does produce b0rken PASM files
# see http://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=32392
main:
new P0, 'Integer'
new P0, 'Integer'
set P0, 3
print P0
set_returns
returncc
According to the spec, this is a bug.
Now, this isn't a big deal, because the semantics of the program aren't
changed. The only problem I can imagine is for embedders, but I'm not sure
if you can poke into parrot registers from a C program. If you can, and you
expect something to be there because you stuffed it into a PASM style
register (not symbolic PIR reg), then things go wrong.
