Re: Definitive and Complete Perl 6 Operator List
Andrew Savige said: Is there a definitive, official, complete list of all Perl 6 operators, along with their precedence levels? I believe that Kurt Gödel, in a corollary to his famous theorem, also showed that Any Perl 6 list is either indefinitive or incomplete. Well, Synopsis 3 is the list you're looking for, but it's clearly not all there. Take the table there to be your definitive list, and mail questions about its accuracy here. I'll do my best to keep up with you and maintain it. For example, this Perl 6 program: my $i = 0; $i ~^= 2; Pugs currently rejects with: pugs: cannot cast into a handle: VInt 2 Since ~^ is string xor, I guessed that ~^= would be allowed. Yeah, any binary operator that takes two Xs to an X should have an = form. It might even be that any operator which takes an X on its left hand side and maps it to an X should have an = form, but it's probably best to keep it at the former requirement for now. Luke

Uploaded so it doesn't get word-wrapped and thus rendered useless to tools: http://www.brentdax.com/junk/perl6/perl6op.txt I've included assignment forms of all operators in the exponentiation, multiplicative, additive, junctive, and tight logical levels; this may be overkill or underkill. I've not included hyper forms of these operators, as I figure they're handled by metaoperators. Also, the terms level isn't really exhaustive. In any case, let me know if anything's missing--or for that matter if anything's there that shouldn't be. -- Brent 'Dax' Royal-Gordon [EMAIL PROTECTED] Perl and Parrot hacker I used to have a life, but I liked mail-reading so much better.

I've not included hyper forms of these : operators, as I figure they're handled by metaoperators. I would say that assignment operators are also metaoperators. They're just a bit picky about which precedence levels they metastasize. In other words, if someone adds an appropriate binary operator, it would automatically get the assignment meta-operator. But not if it's a chaining binary, non-chaining binary, or assignment operator. (We could define the levels that it *does* work on, but then it doesn't work on user-defined precedence levels by default. Alternatively, we could develop a profile apart from precedence levels for operators that are omitted, such as ones that return boolean values, or that create new objects, or that mutate their left argument already.) : In any case, let me know if anything's missing--or for that matter if : anything's there that shouldn't be. Seems to be missing: infix:? infix:?|. infix:?^. The shifts are all X rather than X to avoid confusion with Texas Quotes. Oh, and we recently moved = to assignment precedence so it would more naturally be right associative, and to keep the non-chaining binaries consistently non-associative. Also lets you say: key = $x ?? $y :: $z; plus it moves it closer to the comma that it used to be in Perl 5. Larry
Definitive and Complete Perl 6 Operator List
S03 does not seem to detail a complete list of all Perl 6 operators. For example, it explicitly mentions += but does not mention -= Googling around, I found the Perl 6 Periodic Table of Operators http://www.ozonehouse.com/mark/blog/code/PeriodicTable.html (which I assume does not form part of the official Perl 6 docs) and this November 1 2002 p6l post: http://groups-beta.google.com/group/perl.perl6.language/msg/cd1ca0a0c901d35f?hl=enlr=ie=UTF-8rnum=1 which is the closest I found to what I'm looking for.
