Description (last modified by plobsing) (diff)

Several NCI parameter types which have complex functionality are deprecated. These are either implementable as a layer on top of NCI from within parrot (see zavolaj for ideas), will be replaced by a more general mechanism, or break encapsulation.

Specifically, the following are deprecated, and replacement strategy suggested.

  • J getinterp in sugar layer
  • @ :slurpy parameters in suage layer
  • t manage null-padding in sugar layer
  • 0 insert null argument in sugar layer
  • V an alternate, more general call-by-reference system will be provided
  • 2 an alternate, more general call-by-reference system will be provided
  • 3 an alternate, more general call-by-reference system will be provided
  • 4 an alternate, more general call-by-reference system will be provided
  • B an alternate, more general call-by-reference system will be provided
  • b no replacement; stop violating the string system's assumptions
  • T no replacement; undocumented, broken feature
  • L no replacement; undocumented, broken feature
