💖 INTERCAL::Splats(3pm) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to Language::INTERCAL::Splats — this is the errors page, and ngl it's kind of iconic in a chaotic way 💅

✨ NAME ✨

Language::INTERCAL::Splats — errors, literally just errors 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so when a CLC-INTERCAL program runs, it can produce so many errors 😭 and the most common one? bestie. it's trying to execute a comment. yes fr fr, that's a thing that happens.

errors get reported using a splat — and a splat is a lil package of an error code plus an error message 💌

the splat code is also available in the special expression * after the error occurred. now, lowkey, that's only useful when:

  • the program is multithreaded (meaning another thread produced the splat), or
  • you're within events

because otherwise? producing a splat is always fatal and causes the program to terminate 💀 like, no survivors. it's giving final boss energy.

when printing a splat, the format will always be:

*nnn message

where nnn is the splat code 👑

for a whole list of splat codes, go look at the file blib/htmldoc/errors.html in the distribution build directory (or the corresponding page in the online reference manual). go check it out, it's a whole vibe ✨
