I just wanted to let the list know that with the following configure options --cgoto=0 --jitcapable=0 --execcapable=0 I had 100% pass rate on all cygwin tests. I know some people have had trouble with cygwin in the past, so I thought I would share my success. Another thing that helps is using

Yes, languages should now use IMCC as their target. Basically, they generate IMCC instructions without regards for optimization and such so that only a lexer/parser is needed. Take a look at the bf and ook languages for an example. I think perl6 is also heading there. Tanton - Original

Are the Tru64 registers scanned for live PMCs/Buffers? I don't know what things would typically get missed that way, but it's a known problem for most architectures (or was until recently? What's the status on this?) I don't know if they are or not. How could you tell? Does Tru64 have

I agree that it seems wrong to change the name of an already established language. However, I also don't like the fact that something with the name Brainfuck comes with the core of parrot. What if we moved its distribution out of CVS and just put it on the webpage, or something of that nature?

There were a number of warnings which read something like structure padded for alignment of member value in debug.h This can be trivially fixed by reordering the structure members ( I hope). This patch works fine on cygwin, but I would like to see some other platforms (especially 64 bit) try it

I hate to say this, but I'm still in favor of POD. It has all of the functionality required and is the official commenting style of parrot and perl. I personally find POD distasteful, but since it is the norm, then I think we should stick with it. - Original Message - From: Erik Lechak

In this case, it is quite likely that many programs will get that flag set. In which case, we'll need to be doing a DOD run at the end of most blocks I would hope not. The only things which will set this flag are those items needing deterministic destruction, not all items with a

my $fh = IO::File-new(...) anywhere in the program or its libraries would trigger this slow behaviour for the rest of the program. No. That's why we make it a counter. When a DOD run is made we recalc the number of deterministci destructions needed. But, more than likely, the file
