If present, emit a method call to `attributes::->import(PKG, \$var, @attrs)` where PKG is the typed class name (if present) or the current package. + +### 4. Error Message Improvements in Parser + +**Modified file:** `SubroutineParser.java` + +The `consumeAttributes()` method needs two additional error detections: + +1. **Unterminated attribute parameter**: Already handled by `StringParser.parseRawString()` when `(` is not balanced — verify the error message matches `"Unterminated attribute parameter in attribute list"` + +2. **Invalid separator character**: After consuming an attribute, if the next token is not `:`, whitespace, `;`, `{`, or `=`, emit `"Invalid separator character 'X' in attribute list"` + +### 5. `callModifyCodeAttributes` Error Message Fix + +The existing `callModifyCodeAttributes` in `SubroutineParser.java` formats unrecognized attributes with commas: `"plugh", "xyzzy"`.

Run full test suite, measure improvement + +## Open Questions + +1. **Variable attribute storage**: Should variables store their attributes? Currently `RuntimeCode` has an `attributes` field, but `RuntimeScalar`/`RuntimeArray`/`RuntimeHash` do not. Most test cases only need the `MODIFY_*_ATTRIBUTES` callback (side effects like `tie`), not persistent storage. The `FETCH_*_ATTRIBUTES` tests are only for CODE refs. **Decision: Don't add storage to variables yet — not needed for any current test.** + +2. **`_modify_attrs` implementation level**: The system Perl implements this as XS that directly manipulates SV flags. In PerlOnJava, we access `RuntimeCode.attributes` from Java. For CODE refs this is straightforward. For variable refs, we only need to validate built-in attrs (`shared`) and return unrecognized ones — no actual flag-setting needed since `shared` is a no-op. + +3. **Attribute::Handlers**: The module exists at `src/main/perl/lib/Attribute/Handlers.pm` but depends on `attributes.pm` + CHECK blocks. Getting attrhand.t to pass likely requires CHECK block support (see `op/blocks.t` in the test failures doc). **Decision: Defer — only 4 tests.** + +4. **`our` variable attribute timing**: The perldoc says `our` attributes are applied at compile-time. This means the emitter needs to call `attributes::->import()` immediately during parsing (like `callModifyCodeAttributes` does for subs), not defer to runtime. **Decision: Handle in Phase 2.** + +## Related Documents + +- `dev/prompts/test-failures-not-quick-fix.md` — Section 8 (Attribute System) +- `dev/design/defer_blocks.md` — Similar implementation pattern + +--- + +## Progress Tracking + +### Current Status: Phase 1 not started + +### Completed Phases +- (none yet) + +### Baseline Test Results (2026-04-01) +- attrs.t: 49/130 +- attrproto.t: 3/52 (incomplete — crashes at test 19) +- attrhand.t: 0/0 (crashes immediately) +- uni/attrs.t: 10/34 +- **Total: 62/216 (28.7%)** + +### Next Steps +1.

The expression result is a callable clone. Calling a captured closure prototype dies with "Closure prototype called", matching Perl 5 behavior. Changes: - RuntimeCode: add isClosurePrototype flag, cloneForClosure() method, and prototype checks in all apply() overloads - Attributes: overloaded runtimeDispatchModifyCodeAttributes with isClosure parameter; when true, clones code and marks original as prototype - EmitSubroutine (JVM): detect closures via captured variable count, pass isClosure flag to dispatch method - OpcodeHandlerExtended (interpreter): pass isClosure=true for closures Test results: attrs.t 157/159, uni/attrs.t 34/35, multi.t 53/57. Remaining failures are pre-existing (DESTROY unimplemented, error ordering).

(For non-declared-ref forms like `state @h : risible`, it works.) + +2. **`state (\@h) : bumpy`** — sigil wrongly detected as `$` (SCALAR) instead of `@` (ARRAY). + The parenthesized declared-ref form `(\@h)` produces an AST where the OperatorNode's + operator is `\` (backslash), not `@`. The code at line 1197 (`String sigil = opNode.operator`) + gets `\`, which doesn't match any sigil case and `continue`s. But somehow the error says + "Invalid SCALAR attribute" — possibly a fallback that defaults to SCALAR. This causes + `die $@` in the template, aborting the test. + +**Reproduction**: +```bash +./jperl -e ' +use feature "declared_refs", "state"; +no warnings "experimental::declared_refs"; +sub MODIFY_ARRAY_ATTRIBUTES { print "handler: @_\n"; return; } +eval q{ state \@h : risible }; # handler NOT called (silent) +eval q{ state (\@h) : bumpy }; # "Invalid SCALAR attribute: bumpy" error +' +``` + +**Fix needed**: In `callModifyVariableAttributes()`, handle the declared-ref case where +the operand is a backslash OperatorNode — unwrap it to get the inner sigil. Also ensure +the runtime dispatch path works for `state` declared refs. + +#### op/lexsub.t: 105/160 → 0/0 (-105) + +**Root cause**: Syntax error at line 370 (`p my @b;`) prevents the entire file from compiling. + +On the baseline, the file compiled and ran 105 tests. On our branch, a syntax error at +line 370 causes 0 tests to run. The line is: +```perl +{ + state sub p (\@) { ... } # line 366: state sub with (\@) prototype + p(my @a); # line 369: works (parenthesized) + p my @b; # line 370: SYNTAX ERROR (unparenthesized) +} +``` + +The `(\@)` prototype should tell the parser that `p` takes an array by reference, +allowing `p my @b` without parentheses. On the baseline, this prototype was applied +during parsing. On our branch, scope management changes (SubroutineParser.java: +enter scope before parseSignature, exit after block body) may have affected how +`state sub` prototypes are registered and visible for later prototype-aware parsing. + +**Investigation needed**: Check whether `state sub p (\@)` registers its prototype +in the symbol table during parsing, and whether the scope changes moved this registration +to a different scope level that's not visible at the call site (line 370). + +#### lib/deprecate.t: 4/10 → 0/10 (-4) + +**Root cause**: `defined(&foo)` returns true for forward-declared subs (`sub foo;`). + +In Perl 5, `sub foo;` (forward declaration) does NOT make `defined(&foo)` true. +In PerlOnJava after Phase 7's `isDeclared` flag changes, it does. This breaks +`File::Copy` which has: +```perl +sub syscopy; # line 22: forward declaration +... +unless (defined &syscopy) { # line 315: should enter this block! + $Syscopy_is_copy = 1; + *syscopy = \© # line 326: sets up syscopy +} +``` + +Because `defined &syscopy` wrongly returns true, the initialization block is skipped. +When `copy()` later calls `syscopy()`, it dies with "Undefined subroutine &File::Copy::syscopy". + +**Reproduction**: +```bash +./jperl -e 'sub foo; print defined(&foo) ? "defined" : "undefined", "\n";' +# Prints "defined" — should print "undefined" +perl -e 'sub foo; print defined(&foo) ? "defined" : "undefined", "\n";' +# Prints "undefined" — correct +``` + +**Fix needed**: In `RuntimeGlob.java` or `RuntimeCode.java`, ensure that `defined(&sub)` +returns false for forward declarations (subs that have `isDeclared=true` but no actual body). +The `isDeclared` flag should only affect `getGlobSlot("CODE")` for attribute handler lookup, +not `defined()` semantics. + +**Note**: Fixing this restores the baseline 4/10.
