RakuAST: add role test with attribute

And move a type test to its proper file

09:37

rakudo/main: cacc3e3920 | (Elizabeth Mattijsen)++ | src/Raku/Actions.nqp
RakuAST: don't allow "has $.foo := 666"

To get the behaviour that is seen with the old grammar

10:00

Nemokosch

it would be good to know what was on purpose and what was just a limitation of the compiler that nobody caught

10:02

lizmat

in the new grammar, you could do it and it would generate the right initializer code

10:04

except that it wouldn't bind, but still just assigj

*assign

Nemokosch

hm, that might be confusing

10:05

lizmat

fwiw, I would prefer the := hint as an alternative to "is built(:bind)"

but yeah, allowing it with confusing semantics, would not be a good thing, so it is specifically prohibited at the moment

m: knowhow { }

m: native { }

camelia

( no output )

lizmat

I wonder if these package declarators still make sense? I cannot find any reference to them ?

11:03

m: knowhow FOO { }; dd FOO.HOW.^name

11:04

camelia

"KnowHOW"

lizmat

m: native FOO { }; dd FOO.HOW.^name

11:05

camelia

"Perl6::Metamodel::NativeHOW"

RakuAST: add support for two more package declarators

And use a hash lookup for clarity and bytecode size instead of embedded ternaries

2023-03-13T09:21:47Z #raku <grondilu> Nemokosch: nevermind I was trying to be quirky

2023-03-13T09:35:39Z #raku <grondilu> Nemokosch: if you're curious, I'm trying to display an image on the terminal using kitty's protocol. I have to split the image data in chunks, and print it with a specific code for each chunks but the last one.

Nemokosch

okay good enough
