Comment(by jkeenan):
To summarize how we've gotten to this point ...
One objective set prior to a weekend pre-release hackathon in Dec 2009
was:
{{{
Remove uses of '->strstart' outside of src/string.
Either use Parrot_str_to_cstring/Parrot_str_free_cstring bufstart.
}}}
Some progress was made toward this objective and is documented on the wiki
at [wiki PreDecemberReleaseHackathon]. However, as a review of earlier
posts in this ticket will indicate, the objective itself was subsequently
called into question and there has been no forward momentum in the last
nine months. Moreover, no one has responded to my recent posts asking for
a rationale for continued efforts to that objective.
Hence, I am closing this ticket. If at any point in the future you can
identify locations where `->strstart` could be further eliminated, please
open a new ticket and post a patch.
Thank you very much.
