Description (last modified by bacek) (diff)

# Within a method ... This doesn't work.

$I0 = 1
$P0 = getattribute self, 'someIntField'
$I1 = iseq $I0, $P0

# Error message: # error:imcc:The opcode 'iseq_i_i_p' (iseq<3>) was not found. Check the type and number of the arguments

There is already support for math operands with mixed types, so allowing iseq to have the same behavior is good for consistency:

# Test by bacek
~/src/parrot (ops_pct_local)$ cat t.pir 
.sub "main"
    $N0 = 40.0
    $I0 = 2
    $N1 = $N0 + $I0
    say $N1
.end
~/src/parrot (ops_pct_local)$ ./parrot t.pir 
42
