Currently the high hints bits in nextstate ops aren't displayed very prettily in Concise output: $ perl5240 -MO=Concise -e'study; use feature "fc"; study' | grep next 2 <;> nextstate(main 1 -e:1) v:{ ->3 5 <;> nextstate(main 74 -e:1) v:%,{,469762048 ->6 AFAIKT, when 'use feature' is in scope, bits 26..28 are used to indicate that feature is active and what feature bundles are enabled, with the values 0..4 indicating a feature bundle (like '5.23') and 7 indicating feature in scope but no bundle enabled. The current Concise output of '469762048' clearly isn't very helpful. I propose that as a minimum, any unrecognised bits are displayed in hex instead, i.e. as 1c000000, and preferably at least partially symbolically. Perhaps as 'fb=0' through to 'fb=7'. -- In my day, we used to edit the inodes by hand. With magnets.Thread Next
