Description
From an observation by patrickas on #perl6:
pmichaud@orange:~/parrot/trunk$ cat ../x.pir .sub main $S0 = "6foo" $N0 = $S0 print $S0 print " = " say $N0 $S0 = "16foo" $N0 = $S0 print $S0 print " = " say $N0 .end pmichaud@orange:~/parrot/trunk$ ./parrot ../x.pir 6foo = 0 16foo = 16 pmichaud@orange:~/parrot/trunk$
This has apparently been around for a long time -- since at least Parrot 1.4.0. It was working fine in Parrot 1.0.0, though:
pmichaud@orange:~/parrot/RELEASE_1_0_0$ cat ../x.pir .sub main $S0 = "6foo" $N0 = $S0 print $S0 print " = " say $N0 $S0 = "16foo" $N0 = $S0 print $S0 print " = " say $N0 .end pmichaud@orange:~/parrot/RELEASE_1_0_0$ ./parrot ../x.pir 6foo = 6 16foo = 16 pmichaud@orange:~/parrot/RELEASE_1_0_0$
