kurila15delta - what is new for Perl Kurila 1.5
This document describes differences between Perl Kurila 1.4 and Perl Kurila 1.5
New dereference syntax: $ref->$, $ref->@, $ref->%, $ref->&, $ref->*
Method calls using $obj->?$name instead of $obj->$name
Improved Perl 5 to Kurila conversion script.
The bit operators &, |, ^, ~ are renamed to ^&^, ^|^, ^^^, ^~^.
use kurila 1.5
should be used to indicate kurila is required.
In m/$term[...]/ the [...] always indicates a subscript and never a character class
Removal of the match once ?PATTERN? operator
The ..
operator in scalar context will give an error.
There is new dereference syntax "->." where . can be any of the sigils $,@,%,& or *. Which will dereference to the type indicated by the sigil. The precedence of the operator is the same as that of "->".
Makes it possible to post-derefence.
The call methods with run-time name lookup, C,$obj->?$name> has to be
used instead of old $obj-
$name>. The old $obj->$name will be parsed
using the above mentioned new dereference syntax as $obj -
$ name>, and
normally give a syntax error.
Because ->$
means dereference to an scalar. Thus something else is needed
to indicate calling a method with a dynamic name.
The Perl 5 to Kurila converted (in the 'mad' directory), has had many improvements, and is far less likely to fail.
The bit operators &, |, ^ and ~ have been renamed to ^&^, ^|^, ^^^ and ^~^ respectively. A '^' which does not start one of these operators will give a compile error. Use of a single '&', '|' and '~' where an operator is expected will give a compile error.
Bit operators are rarely used, this makes it more explicit that they are bit operators. And it allows to old bit operators to be used for something else.
use kurila 1.5

use VERSION
and require VERSION
give an error that the code
isn't Perl Kurila.
In regexes instead of guessing whether in $term[...] the [...] is a subscripts or a character class, the [] are always interpreted as a subscript.
Removes guessing whethere [...] is a subscript or a character class.
The ?PATTERN? has been removed. A '?' is now always parsed as the conditional operator "?:".

bleadperl changes up to Change 32130 are integrated.
Documentation has not been updated for many of the changes for kurila.
Perl Kurila has only been tested/build for x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi platform.
