Hi,
Rakudo is currently failing t\spec\S12-class\attributes.t. This turns
out not to be an issue with attributes, but rather exceptions. The test
does:
my $c = Counter.new();
try {
$c.x
}
ok($!, 'no public accessor for private attribute');
And fails because the Exception PMC does not implement the get_bool
vtable method (which I'm guessing must have changed when we merged
pdd25cx). I'm not sure what the best solution for this is...in the
meantime, I have fudged that test, so the rest of attributes.t passes
again now.
The Exception PMC never had a get_bool vtable function implemented, but
it did previously inherit one from ResizablePMCArray. So, that test was
relying on an implementation artifact.
Under what circumstances should an exception report TRUE? Under the old
implementation, since it was using ResizablePMCArray, it would report
TRUE if any data was stored in the exception. That is, it always
reported TRUE, because 'init' prefilled the first 11 slots in the
exception's array.
