I would expect the above program to print nothing and exit, rather
than recurse infinitely.

From @usev6

This works now​:

$ perl6-m -e 'role R { method foo {}; R.foo }; say "alive"'
alive

$ perl6-p -e 'role R { method foo {}; R.foo }; say "alive"'
alive

$ perl6-j -e 'role R { method foo {}; R.foo }; say "alive"'
alive

I added a test to S14-roles/basic.t with the following commit​: Raku/roast@195e181557. I'm closing this ticket now.

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