<diakopter> masak​: did you see the rj​: constant a = a in the backlog
<diakopter> rj​: constant a = a
<camelia> rakudo-jvm e22ac2​:
OUTPUT«===SORRY!===␤java.lang.NullPointerException␤»
<masak> diakopter​: does... does that go in the RT perl6 queue? guess it does.
* masak submits rakudobug

My first java.lang.NullPointerException rakudobug! \o/

From @diakopter

note​: I suspect it's dying during parse time.. (or the implied BEGIN around
the initializer expression?)

The RT System itself - Status changed from 'new' to 'open'

From @donaldh

The NPE is resolved by Raku/nqp@4892ff1f18

From @usev6

Since there is no NullPointerException anymore, I'm closing this ticket as 'resolved'.

The problem that 'constant a = a' does not work as expected is handled in another ticket​: https://rt-archive.perl.org/perl6/Ticket/Display.html?id=111674

@usev6 - Status changed from 'open' to 'resolved'
