types - Perl pragma for strict type checking
use types; my int $int; my float $float; $int = $float; # BOOM compile time error!
This pragma uses the optimzie module to analyze the optree and turn on compile time type checking
my float $foo = "string"; #compile time error
sub foo (int $foo) { my ($foo) = @_ };
foo("hi"); #compile time error
my int $int;
sub foo { my float $foo; return $foo }
$int = $foo; # compile time error
This pragma uses the optimzie module to analyze the optree and turn on compile time type checking
Currently we support int, float, number ,string and user defined classes, the implict casting rules are as follows.
int < > number
int > float
float < > number
number > string
Normall type casting is allowed both up and down the inheritance tree, so in theory user defined classes should work already, requires one to do use base or set @ISA at compileitme in a BEGIN block.
Return values are implicitly figerd out by the subroutine, this includes both falling of the end or by expliticly calling return, if two return values of the same sub differ you will get an error message.
Arguments are declared with prototype syntax, they can either be named or just typed, if typed only the calling convertions are checked, if named then that named lexical will get that type without the need for expliticty typing it, thus allowing list assignment from @_
None.
