* Clarify and correct description of comma operator in scalar contextIan Goodacre2010-10-221-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The guarantee that in scalar context the comma operator evaluates its arguments in scalar context is overstated. In perl 5.10.0 print "Scalar assignment:\n"; $x = ( context(1), context(2), context(3) ); print "Scalar assignment in sub:\n"; sub list { ( context(1), context(2), context(3) ) } $x = list(); sub context { if(wantarray) { print "list context\n"; } elsif(defined(wantarray)) { print "scalar context\n"; } else { print "void context\n"; } } prints: scalar assignment: void context void context scalar context Scalar assignment in sub: scalar context scalar context scalar context This leaves only the right argument of the last comma operator in a list as the only one that might always be evaluated in scalar context. The comments on the sample outputs were at best ambiguous if not misleading or false, and also unnecessarily pejorative of perl4. The revised comments less ambiguously refer to the last expression in the list (@y in the example) rather than to the literal list that is the argument of the assignment operator.
* Corrected Perl5 example of Formatted output and significant digitsIan Goodacre2010-10-221-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | The following note says "Your results may vary...", so maybe some perls did give the value in the example as it was, but perl v5.10.0 on Intel Pentium based system gives the more accurate revised output. I am also dubious about the values given for perl4 as the error is quite large, but I don't have perl4 easily available to test.

| | | | | It looks as though a space was inadvertently removed. The example makes no sense without it.

(Sigh, I'm sure it's too late for it to go into > 5.004_01, though.) I think it would be a very bad idea to retrofit this. Having single quotes which don't start quoted strings is a syntactic ambiguity nightmare. Consider soft references such as "stuff${'var'}more stuff". (I presume that's why it had to be removed.) You can avoid this problem, and not extend the lines quite as much, by explicitly including the package name: "stuff${main'var}more stuff" which works compatibly in perl4 and perl5. Attached is a suggested patch for perltrap. p5p-msgid: E0wdKJY-00010w-00@taurus.cus.cam.ac.uk
