Hi there I've just noted that Rakudo 2017.01 reports the wrong line number for any references of misspelled private class attributes. The minimal example to reproduce this is as follows: class Foo { method foo { say $!bad; } } Foo.foo(); Rakudo reports the following: ===SORRY!=== Error while compiling /home/agentzh/a.p6 Attribute $!bad not declared in class Foo at /home/agentzh/a.p6:7 ------> }⏏<EOL> Note the line number is 7 while the offending line is at line 3. It seems that rakudo always reports the last line of the containing source file, which is never useful. I haven't tested any other Rakudo releases yet. So I'm not sure if it's a long standing issue or just a recent regression. Thanks for your attention! Best regards, -agentzh

Still reproducible:

<AlexDaniel> 6c: class Foo {␤ method foo {␤ say $!bad;␤ }␤ }␤
