Hello,
xx hangs if a non-numeric value appears on the right hand side:
my @a = "b" xx "monkey";
my @c = <a b c>
my @d = "e" xx @c;
Attached is a patch which corrects this while still supporting a Whatever
argument like so:
my @f = <a b c> Z (1 xx *); # @f is <a 1 b 1 c 1>
I've added fudged spectests to S03-operators/repeat.t and
S05-transliteration/trans.t (this bug also causes .trans('x' => '') to hang).
Cheers,
Fitz Elliott
