(Match) routine make §
Defined as
method make(Match: Mu )sub make(Mu )Sets the .ast attribute, which will be retrieved using .made.
$/.make("your payload here");That is, it stores an arbitrary payload into the Match object that can later be retrieved via .made method. Since the sub form operates, by default, on $/, that example is equivalent to:
make("your payload here");This is typically used in a grammar's actions class methods, where a piece of data is stored by one method and then later retrieved by another. It's up to you what data you store. It could be a tree node, result of a calculation, a type object, or a list of values.
The sub form operates on the current Match $/, which can be a convenient shortcut:
method my-action ($/)
