Hey all,
Here's a simple hand coded example that (correctly, AFAIK) prints "ab" in vanilla parrot, but goes off in an infinite loop with the --python flag. Why does --python mode modify the behaviour of coroutines? I thought perhaps they were used for generators or "for...in" iteration, but that doesn't seem to be the case. I can't find any python stuff that uses them at all. Is it dead code, or am I missing something? Sam sent me a patch for pirate that leans on the work done in --python... I just got my generator code working with vanilla parrot, but it doesn't work at all with the --python flag. I know the --python stuff is temporary but it would be nice to be able to integrate the pie-thon code with pirate. - Michal http://withoutane.com/ ## gen.pir ############################# # # parrot gen.pir : prints "ab" # parrot --python gen.pir : hangs # .sub __main__ .local object gen .local object res gen = global "_gen_g" loop: res = gen() print res goto loop end .end .sub _gen_g prototyped .local object res res = new PerlString res = "a" .pcc_begin_yield .return res .pcc_end_yield res = "b" .pcc_begin_yield .return res .pcc_end_yield print "\n" end .end
