在 Perl 6 中,有没有办法获取附加到特定多子候选者的 Pod 声明符块?

In Perl 6, is there a way to get the Pod declarator block that is attached to a specific multi sub candidate?

Perl 6 有一个很酷的特性,它允许你得到任何 Pod declarator block that is attached to a subroutine (or class, role, etc.), using the WHY method:

#|(Some enlightening words about myfunc.)
sub myfunc (Int $i) { say "You provided an integer: $i"; };
#=(Some more words about myfunc.)

say &myfunc.WHY;

这显示:

Some enlightening words about myfunc.
Some more words about myfunc.

不幸的是,当一个子程序有多个候选者时,不能仅在子程序名称上调用 .WHY:

#|(myfunc accepts an integer.)
multi myfunc (Int $i) { say "You provided an integer $i"; };
#|(myfunc accepts a string.)
multi myfunc (Str $s) { say "You provided a string $s"; };

say &myfunc.WHY;

结果:

No documentation available for type 'Sub'.
Perhaps it can be found at https://docs.perl6.org/type/Sub

有没有办法获取附加到特定多子候选者的 Pod 声明符块?有没有办法对子程序的所有候选人都这样做?

这有点间接,但是...

您可以将每个 multi myfunc 存储在一个变量中并对该变量调用 WHY,但仍然像以前一样调用 myfunc

#!/bin/env perl6

#|(myfunc accepts an integer.)
my $func_int = multi myfunc (Int $i) { say "You provided an integer $i"; }
#=(More about Int version of myfunc)

#|(myfunc accepts a string.)
my $func_string = multi myfunc (Str $s) { say "You provided a string $s"; }
#=(More about Str version of myfunc)

myfunc(10);        # myfunc works as normal
say $func_int.WHY; # show POD declarator block

say ''; # Blank line to separate output into two groups

myfunc("bar"); 
say $func_string.WHY;

导致此输出:

You provided an integer 10
myfunc accepts an integer.
More about Int version of myfunc

You provided a string bar
myfunc accepts a string.
More about Str version of myfunc

您使用 candidatescando 查找多重。

最初发布时,我找不到通过签名查找多子的固定方法,但 Christoph 解决了这个问题。

#| Initiate a specified spell normally
multi sub cast(Str $spell) {
  say "casting spell $spell";
}
#= (do not use for class 7 spells)

#| Cast a heavy rock etc in irritation
multi sub cast(Str $heavy-item, Int $n) {
  say "chucking $n heavy $heavy-item";
}

say "doc for cast spell";
say &cast.candidates[0].WHY;

say "doc for throwing rocks";
say &cast.candidates[1].WHY;

say "find doc for throwing things";
for &cast.candidates {
    if .signature ~~ :( Str, Int ) {
        say .WHY;
    }
}

# more advanced
say &cast.cando(\(Str, Int))>>.WHY; # thanks to Christoph
&cast.candidates.first: { .signature ~~ :(Str, Int) } andthen .WHY.say;

输出:

doc for cast spell
Initiate a specified spell normally
(do not use for class 7 spells)
doc for throwing rocks
Cast a heavy rock etc in irritation
find doc for throwing things
Cast a heavy rock etc in irritation
... repeated for variants ...

这并没有真正回答您的问题,而是试图解释为什么在 multi 上使用 WHY 不起作用;主要是因为它指向multi

proto
#|(my-multi-func accepts either an integer or a string)
proto my-multi-func (|) {*}

#|(myfunc accepts an integer.)
multi my-multi-func (Int $i) { say "You provided an integer $i"; };
#|(myfunc accepts a string.)
multi my-multi-func (Str $s) { say "You provided a string $s"; };

say "my-multi-func is a {&my-multi-func.perl} and does {&my-multi-func.WHY}";

我在此处附上 {&my-multi-func.perl},因为这是给我的提示。如果你不定义 proto,它 returns

my-multi-func is a sub my-multi-func (;; Mu | is raw) { #`(Sub|59650976) ... }

,即定义的 multi 中的 none,因此 proto。当然,如果您想访问候选人的那些特定定义,@Christopher Bottoms 的回答是完美的。

通过candidates获取所有文档:

&myfunc.candidates>>.WHY

通过cando获取最窄匹配候选的文档:

&myfunc.cando(\(42)).first.WHY
