<masak> oh, this has nothing to do with the absence of !

I'm not 100% sure this is an error. But it seems a bit strange to me.

From @masak

<masak> lichtkind​: it would seem to me that the error is that Rakudo
can see a $!foo from the B class. it should be a compile error,
methinks.
<masak> adding this as a comment to the ticket.
<lichtkind> masak​: this is just another privat method, and these
usually do inherit
<masak> oh.
<masak> I'm mostly from the Java world, where private things don't inherit.
<masak> well, either it should or it shouldn't inherit. if it should,
then the error is that we don't see a 7 in the second one-liner,
right?
<masak> to me, it's worrisome enough that B can see a $!foo.
<masak> but that might be correct, depending on how Perl 6 OO works.

From @masak

<masak> lichtkind​: found it!
<masak> lichtkind​: "the exclamation form may be used only in the
actual class, not in derived classes."
<masak> S12​:567
<masak> this needs spectests, to be sure
<masak> that also means that Rakudo is too permissive in this case
* masak adds this to the ticket

This is an automatically generated mail to inform you that tests are now available in b/t/spec/S12-attributes/inheritance.t

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

From @bbkr

Moscow build​:

perl6 -e 'class A { has $!foo = 7 }; class B is A { method x {say $!foo
} }; B.new.x'
7

So now value is correct, but $!foo form should be forbidden in derived
class anyway due to S12 spec?

We get this right now​:

class A { has $!foo = 7 }; class B is A { method x { say $!foo } };
B.new.x
Attribute $!foo not declared in class B at line 1, near " } }; B.ne"
