Re: can a method name contain a funny character?

Thanks Larry for the answer and the great language. It is quite ok for me to start alphabetically. I use the funny char to indicate a particular aspect shared by a bunch of subs operators and methods. So I tried: method term: { "Mel G.".say } However, that gives me: Bogus postfix

[perl #126378] [BUG] "Useless use of variable" warning doesn't show up on -e in Rakudo

I thought about adding a test for this ticket, but now wonder what the expected output for the evaluation is. As Moritz showed a current Rakudo complains about 'Useless use of "+" in expression "$a + $b" ...'. In masak's original example the warning was about "Useless use of variable $a ...".

Re: can a method name contain a funny character?

You have to write it like this: class Foo { method ::('❤') { "mem heart".say } } my Foo $foo .= new; $foo.'❤'(); Other than that, only names beginning alphabetically are allowed. You could work around this on the caller end with a postfix:<❤>, but that would be an

Re: Union

Hi Marcel, With regard to checking for endianess. I don't think there's anything built in NativeCall that directly determines this, but hopefuly the following should do it, without resorting to a C compiler. use NativeCall; sub little-endian returns Bool { my $i = CArray[uint32].new:

Re: Union

Hi Thanks for your answer. I was thinking in perl6, I should have been more  explicit. At the moment I am converting Num to a float representation in my  BSON module and was wondering if there where easier ways and maybe faster too. Regards, Marcel --- Forwarded message --- From: Marcel

[perl #127580] [BUG] README/compiler_overview out of date

I opened a small PR for Rakudo (https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/pull/740) to remove the relevant section from README.md and to add a warning that docs/compiler_overview.pod is not up to date.

Hi, While the perl language already offers so much I have a question not found in perl Is there anything like the C union to do an easy mapping from some native variable to a buf of the same number of bytes? This is a nice helper for pack/unpack for native values. It is important to know

[perl #127779] Inconsistency with non-int $k in “combinations” (combinations 2, 0.5)

The implementation has changed with rakudo commit f220a5ed so that Int() is called on $k (and $n). The examples work consistently now, but it looks like there are no tests for this in roast: $ perl6-m -e 'say combinations 2, 0.5' (()) $ perl6-m -e 'say combinations 2, 1.5' ((0) (1)) $

[perl #127778] negative $n in “combinations” (combinations -999999999999999999, 2)

This works consistently now: $ perl6-m -e '.say for combinations -999, 2' () $ perl6-m -e '.say for combinations -99, 2' () Calling combinations with a negative $k gives an empty list: $ perl6-m -e 'say combinations 4, -2' () I added tests for this behaviour to
