Hi Marcel, Not that I know of. With regard to your original question. NativeCall has nativecast (as above) for casting and a CUnion representation for unions. There are some tests in https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/blob/nom/t/04-nativecall/13-union.t for this. NativeCall is letting you get

Re: can a method name contain a funny character?

If we don't want to get the "line noise" libel all over again, there are some features of the language that should probably go unmentioned for a while. The ability to use non-ASCII characters in names may be perfectly justifiable. When the cognoscenti have produced enough decent code showing how

Re: can a method name contain a funny character?

@Parrot Raiser and @Luca. I will make sure to add Texan alternatives in case other people need to take over. I use triangle symbols to make internal symmetries in the code visible, and I have no problem pronouning or typing them. The code is substantially more readable with them. The same is

Re: can a method name contain a funny character?

Mathematical symbols might be a legitimate case, since they are generally pronounceable. Otherwise, special characters cause problems both in entry from the keyboard and thinking about the code. (What does it sound like if you describe it to yourself? foo.heart?) On 4/12/16, Luca Ferrari

Why? Perhaps you are confusing taste and good sense. The heart is just an example. My intention is for a mathematical symbol and a mathematical meaning. I see nothing wrong with that. Parrot Raiser schreef op 2016-04-12 01:06: I hope I never run across code written by someone who thinks this

Re: Union

Hi David, Thanks very much for your code, I will try it when I get home at the end of the week although I only have little endian Intell chips. I will have to look around for others. Btw, are there still chips storing big endian paired in two bytes? So your example number would become 0x23,
