$output (inside of HLL::Compiler.eval) seems that it doesn't need any arguments

[titsuki]

See the following lines: https://github.com/perl6/nqp/blob/master/src/HLL/Compiler.nqp#L181 https://github.com/perl6/nqp/blob/master/src/HLL/Compiler.nqp#L185 https://github.com/perl6/nqp/blob/master/src/HLL/Compiler.nqp#L188

When I tried rakudo-and-nqp-internals-course and created a PHP-like language, I noticed that $output(|@args) causes error when @args is not empty.

This example implements a workaround for this problem, but I think it is not the best way: https://github.com/perl6/nqp/blob/master/examples/rubyish/rubyish.nqp#L1046-L1060

I noticed that $output(|@args) causes error when @args is not empty.

Do you still have the contents of the error? What did it say?
