Can you give an example of translating code that uses these to code
that
uses the new forms? I have a lot of code to translate if you deprecate
these and I want to see how it looks.
I'm pretty sure that you don't have any code that uses *stack calling
conventions*.
.param et al have two different meanings. The normal usage is with
parrot calling conventions (pdd03) and this will of course not change
and is not deprecated.
.sub foo
.param pmc x # get_params "(0b2)", P15
But with stack calling conventions the .param translates to 'restore
Px' (pop from user stack).
.arg x # save P20 (on user stack)
call _foo # bsr _foo
.sub foo
saveall
.param pmc x # restore P15
I'd like to get rid of this dual meaning of these directives.
