Subject: Infinite loop during parsing
$ cat bug/infinite-loop #!perl use Method::Signatures::Simple; func f() :A () {} __END__ $ perl bug/infinite-loop ^C The above code sends the parser into an infinite loop.

This is actually a bug in Devel::Declare::Context::Simple. It apparently doesn't parse the code attributes robustly enough. Just to be sure, that attribute specification is a syntax error in normal Perl too: perl -E 'sub x() :A () { }' Invalid separator character '(' in attribute list at -e line 1, near "sub x() :A " syntax error at -e line 1, near "sub x() :A " Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors.
