X::Obsolete Reference
Compilation error due to use of obsolete syntax
What it is #
Routines #
Signatures are reproduced from the documentation, including their declared return types. A routine listed here is part of the type's published interface; whether Raku++ implements it is a separate question, answered by the examples below.
method old #
method old(--> Str:D)Returns Str:D.
Returns a textual description of the obsolete syntax construct
method replacement #
method replacement(--> Str:D)Returns Str:D.
Describes what to use instead of the obsolete syntax.
method when #
method when(--> Str:D)Returns Str:D.
Returns a string describing the state of the language (usually " in Raku").
Examples, run three ways #
Every example below comes from the official documentation, together with the output that documentation asserts. Each was then executed by Rakudo and by Raku++ when this page was built. Where the three agree, one result is shown; where they do not, all three are — because which of them is wrong is exactly the information worth having.
