Subject: Misparsing of sort subroutine intention
Reply-To: ken.williams[at]thomson.com
Message-Id: <5.8.6_1048_1210604177[at]mailbo2.westgroup.com>
This is a bug report for perl from ken.williams[at]thomson.com,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.35 running under perl v5.8.6.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please enter your report here]
I was surprised by the following behavior of the parser, which
misinterprets the union() subroutine call as a SUBNAME comparison
routine for the sort() function:
==================
% cat c2.pl
use strict;
my %one = qw(a 1 b 2 c 3);
my %two = qw(a 1 c 2 e 3);
sub union {
my %h;
$h{$_}++ for @_;
keys %h;
}
foreach my $k (sort union(keys(%one), keys(%two)) ) {
print "$k\n";
}
% perl c2.pl
c
a
b
e
c
a
% perl -MO=Deparse,-p c2.pl
use strict 'refs';
(my(%one) = ('a', '1', 'b', '2', 'c', '3'));
(my(%two) = ('a', '1', 'c', '2', 'e', '3'));
sub union {
my(%h);
(++$h{$_}) foreach (@_);
keys(%h);
}
foreach my($k) (sort union keys(%one), keys(%two)) {
print("$k\n");
}
c2.pl syntax OK
==================
Of course, I can use explicit parens for the sort() function, but I
thought the parens I'm using for the union() function should have been
sufficient.
I verified that this same behavior exists with my copy of perl 5.10.0
also.
