Parrot 0.4.0 Luthor Released!

2005-12-04 Thread Leopold Toetsch
On behalf of the Parrot team I'm proud to announce another major release of Parrot. More than 530 svn checkins and 1000 added tests by numerous folks bump up the version to 0.4.0. I'd like to thank all involved people as well as our sponsors for supporting us. What is Parrot? Parrot is a

release 0.4.0 done

* svn ci is fine again - may the hacking continue * a few 'make testr' (run test via .pbc) tests are broken, at least one due to an expected compile error in the test, which then doesn't create the test file of course. I didn't find the time[1] to look more closely into other failures.

some goals for the next release

This is an unordered collection of my thoughts towards a next release: * namespaces: create a PDD based on Matt's document * interfaces: start some brainstorming, what we might need in Parrot core * bytecode library loading: needs rewriting and major cleanup * config module cleanup:

scalar/array contexts in perl5 vs. perl6

what is a good translation of the following C into perl6? code #include stdio.h void print(int y[]) { int ii; for (ii = 0; 9 ii; ++ii) { printf(%d , y[ii]); } printf(\n); } int main() { int x = 0; int y[] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}; y[x++]++; /* line that matters

Something else? I would be pleased to have a design decision made regarding inheritance of attributes in Parrot objects. See the last few comments here: https://rt.perl.org/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=36411 for the design questions that arose. Regards, Roger Browne

Flunking tests and failing code

2005-12-04 Thread Gaal Yahas
There's a bikeshedding question of some visibility: now that we have a Cfail builtin, what do we do with CTest::fail? There's plenty of code out there that uses fail as an exported function from pugs' Test.pm or Perl 5 testing modules. We want to keep Test primitives exported and fun to use, to

I've run into a problem today with my Perl 6 coding, which is due to a perceived design flaw in the current Perl 6 spec (this was discussed on #perl6 just now, mainly between myself and autrijus), so I'm bringing it up here. And yes, autrijus thinks the behaviour I'm seeing in Pugs is
