<masak> wtf?

* masak submits rakudobug
<masak> *sigh*
<masak> taking a guess, that seems to be an error that occurs during
parsing while trying to print the real error.
<masak> taking another guess, it has to do with the Parrot
String/Rakudo Str conversion not always being perfect. probably a
.trans call or something.
<TimToady> rakudo​: exit; say $foo;
<p6eval> rakudo 2ee5db​: OUTPUT«===SORRY!===␤too few positional

<masak> would be nice if someone would do a bisect on this one.

Seems to be a problem in the backtrace printer -- without method
becktrace in src/Perl6/Compiler.pir, I get

Symbol '$foo' not predeclared in <anonymous>
current instr.​: 'perl6;PCT;HLLCompiler;panic' pc 146
(compilers/pct/src/PCT/HLLCompiler.pir​:109)
called from Sub 'perl6;PAST;Compiler;post_children' pc 2320

called from Sub 'perl6;PAST;Compiler;call' pc 4810

@moritz - Status changed from 'new' to 'open'

<masak> AH!
<masak> it only happens when I put things in a file.
<masak> not with -e
[...]
<masak> when I turn off the Perl 6 backtracer, the error is reported as occurring in
"perl6;PCT;HLLCompiler;lineof".
<masak> but, importantly, the LTA bug still persists​: "too few positional arguments​: 2 passed, 3
(or more) expected"
<masak> this seems to be counter to what moritz_++ reports in
http://rt.perl.org/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=78252
<masak> but on the other hand, moritz_ seems to have run with -e, so that's different too.
