Re: Pointer to bug question

[Clifton Wood]

ToddAndMargo: Why are you referencing NativeHelpers::Blob when I've linked
to the code you need. The bug was in the code snippet I've sent. NONE of my
stuff is available via zef because CURI (and hence zef) have problems with
large scale code that I am still trying to resolve.

You should be able to get a clean copy of the role from here
.
You should be able to download it, copy it to your project directory and
execute it.

No zef necessary.

Re: What is this "\t"?

[Clifton Wood]

@ToddAndMargo: These are all explained in the Raku documentation. Long
story short:

"my \t" -- this is a RAW definition. You can use it to hold types, as in
this case.
".of" is a method for Parametric Roles. It generally returns a type
"??" is the trinary operator. (expr) ??  !! 

If you are going to go further, please read the Raku documentation. These
are basic questions that are covered there in detail.

What is this "\t"?

[ToddAndMargo via perl6-users]

Hi All,

On

https://github.com/salortiz/NativeHelpers-Blob/blob/master/lib/NativeHelpers/Blob.pm6

Line 96

my \t = ptr.of ~~ void ?? $type.of !! ptr.of;


What is `\t`?

What of `.of`

What is `??`?

What is `!!`


Yours in confusion.
