As FROGGS pointed out on IRC
(http://irclog.perlgeek.de/perl6/2014-10-07#i_9469198) the behaviour on Parrot
is not exactly as last year. I did a fresh build and now I get the "Null PMC
access" errors only when putting the declaration in an extra block. (That's
what happening in my tests where I use 'lives_ok { sub postfix:<\\>($) {} },
"OK"')
So for Rakudo on newly built Parrot:
> sub postfix:< p >($) {}; say "alive"
alive
> { sub postfix:< \p >($) {}; }; say "alive"
Null PMC access in find_method('clone')
$ perl6-p -e 'sub postfix:<\\>($) {}; say "alive"'
alive
$ perl6-p -e '{ sub postfix:<\\>($) {} }; say "alive"'
Null PMC access in find_method('clone')
in block <unit> at -e:1
$ perl6-p -e 'use Test; lives_ok { sub prefix:<\\>($) {} }, "OK"'
not ok 1 - OK
# Failed test 'OK'
# at -e line 1
# Null PMC access in find_method('clone')
