Re: [perl #42769] can't create a variable named 'object'
hi, related to this, I think that imcc also allows for built-in types as types. such as .local Array a etc. (sorry can't check; don't have my own pc around here, this is a public pc) (I added some notes about this and other PIR cleanups in languages/PIR and I think also in compilers/pirc IIRC). IMHO, this is not needed; pmc is sufficient, and it'd be nice to keep PIR as simple as possible, after all it's an intermediate language. Moreover, everytime a built-in type is added (although not happening that often) the grammar would have to be updated to stay consistent. my 2c, kjs On 4/28/07, via RT Jerry Gay [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: # New Ticket Created by Jerry Gay # Please include the string: [perl #42769] # in the subject line of all future correspondence about this issue. # URL: http://rt.perl.org/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=42769 it seems that 'object' is a reserved word in imcc, it's a synonym for 'pmc'. it seems undocumented, and i don't see a reason for it--we already have a word for 'pmc'.
