If all goes well, and if there are no complaints, I would like to
merge this branch before the end of the weekend, today preferrably.
Andrew,
I registered a complaint about the threads branch several weeks ago. In
response to a #parrot privmsg from you, I sent you email on June 28
which included the following:
"When I tested the threads branch on Darwin/PPC, there was a stretch of
about 8 tests in one file which caused 'make test' to grind to an
absolute halt. My laptop did not freeze, but 'make test' just silently
stopped.
I take this to be a message from the canary in the coal mine. I am much
more skeptical of the threads branch than I am of, say, your io_cleanup1
branch. I would be very reluctant to see it merged into master because
it would be another step down the road to Parrot's becoming a
"runs-on-any-OS-provided-that-OS-is-Linux" application."
Please Please PLEASE let me know if anybody would like more time to do
more vigorous testing of any variety.
I note that since June 28 there has been only one commit to the threads
branch and I never got a response to that email. I would infer from
this that the branch is relatively unchanged over the past month.
Hence, I suspect that when I build and test this branch -- which I am
trying now -- the results will not be good.
Thank you very much.
Jim Keenan
