I found out something I cannot explain, so I golfed it to what I think is the bare minimum:

# file OurTest.rakumod
unit module OurTest;

use NativeCall;

our $our-errno is export := cglobal('libc.so.6', 'errno', int32); # note the "our"

# file test.raku
use NativeCall;
use lib '.';
use OurTest;

my $my-errno := cglobal('libc.so.6', 'errno', int32); # note the "my"

say $my-errno.^name;   # output: Int
say $our-errno.^name;  # output: Any

Why do the variables declared as my and our seem to contain different type of data?
No hint of that behavior in the documentation, this was unexpected to me.

  • Might it be to do with the fact the cglobal returns a Proxy? – Scimon Proctor Feb 25 '20 at 15:32
  • Note in particular both "As explained, the issue here is not specific to export." and also "We certainly could warn that binding to an `our` variable is pointless use of `our`." in a comment on the answer of the SO this one duplicates. – raiph Feb 25 '20 at 15:41
