3) a lot of tests for $! seem to fail. i think that happens since commit 1a4d94930c (there was a call to nqp​::setmessage removed from method throw)

Here is a simple example​:

$ ./perl6-j -e 'try { die "foo" }; say $!.perl; say $!.gist'
X​::AdHoc.new(payload => "foo")
Died
  in block <unit> at -e line 1

$ $ ./perl6-m -e 'try { die "foo" }; say $!.perl; say $!.gist'
X​::AdHoc.new(payload => "foo")
foo
  in block <unit> at -e line 1

It looks like the 'Died' stems from this line​: https://github.com/perl6/nqp/blob/862cde8ed431bce5aec64130737cfeafc10e7fc9/src/vm/jvm/runtime/org/perl6/nqp/runtime/Ops.java#L5766

If I revert Raku/nqp@d228c929f8 the above example works as expected. Also, 'make test' for nqp is clean and I the failures I've seen for $! in rakudo (e.g. S02-magicals/dollar_bang.t) are gone. (I'm unable to run 'make spectest', unfortunately.)

Since I'm not completely sure, reverting nqp commit d228c929f8 is the right thing to do, I'll open a PR for that (maybe tomorrow).

I went ahead and did the revert with Raku/nqp@1177ace084

I'm closing this ticket as 'resolved'.
