I'll be amazingly busy for the next couple of weeks.

Hi folks. I have all of the preprocessor FULL_SYSTEMs replaced with
C++
constant FullSystems (except the one where FULL_SYSTEM is assigned to
FullSystem) and have passed all the quick regressions. I just started
a
run of all the regressions, and expect it will take a day to run at
minimum. I'll then turn all the patches I have into commits, push
them
into my SE/FS repo, and pull in the dev repo and merge. The merge
commit
will go in the SE/FS repo. At this point, SE and FS could
theoretically
be run from the same binary if FullSystem was changed from a constant
to
a variable/parameter, but since it isn't they can't. The scripts
would
also have to be updated significantly for that to happen. Because all
functions, classes, and member variables are available in SE and FS
mode
but not all will do something sensible/work/not segfault in both
modes,
there are a few more possibilities to shoot yourself in the foot in
my
repository.
Does this seem like a good point to get feedback and fold things into
the main repository? My next step(s) will probably involve making
FullSystem a global variable (or function?) set with a parameter and
make the scripts set it, but not to go all the way and get rid of
separate builds for SE and FS even though they'll be the same thing.
There are going to be details like the regressions/regression scripts
which will need to be updated first, and probably the mode will need
to
be worked into the quick/long/opt/fast/debug path scheme. The next
good
spot will likely be in there somewhere.
If this is a bad time for logistical reasons (looming conference
deadline, other large change nearly ready, etc) I can hold off for a
little while but still use this as a merge point.
