X::Phaser::PrePost Reference
Error due to a false return value of a PRE/POST phaser
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 phaser #
method phaser(--> Str:D)
Returns Str:D.
Returns the name of the failed phaser, "PRE" or "POST".
method condition #
method condition(--> Str:D)
Returns Str:D.
Returns the part of the source code that describes the phaser condition.
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.

class X::Phaser::PrePost is Exception { }Not executed: the documentation states no expected output for this example.

Raku++ matches the documentation; Rakudo does not. This is the one class where neither engine can be assumed right: it may be a stale doc that Raku++ was built from, or it may be a Rakudo bug that the documentation predates. Each case is examined individually.
Not yet examined. Which of these is correct has not been established — do not treat either engine as settled here.
