A state variable works per closure clone, but we must re-clone the inner blocks in a regex to avoid threads stomping on each other's state. So this only "worked" previously thanks to a code-gen bug, which I fixed in the referenced commit.

Which basically means that state variables are useless in this case. Is there any potential possibility to detect this and print some kind of a warning?

An array of tokens used to be able to match like this​:

my token foo { 'foo' };
my token bar { 'bar' };
my token baz { 'baz' };
my @​tokens = /<foo>/, /<bar>/, /<baz>/;
say 'foo bar baz' ~~ / ^ <{ @​tokens[$++] }> ** { +@​tokens } % <.ws> $ /;

OUTPUT​: 「foo bar baz」

This no longer work since commit 7a456ff80183a6e26dc91d811d992112c68ddb6d

You can simulate how it should work by providing your own state variable

state $i = 0;
say 'foo bar baz' ~~ / ^ <{ @​tokens[$i++] }> ** { +@​tokens } % <.ws> $ /;

I'm fairly sure that the ship for this has sailed, we've had this “issue” for a year now.

I guess during that year everyone has adapted their code to the new behavior.

So if you're reading this comment and you think that the ticket should be closed, please just mark it as 「testneeded」 so that we have the new behavior cast in stone. And that'll be it.
