#1879: Deprecate Parrot_compreg
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
Reporter: whiteknight | Owner:
Type: RFC | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone: 2.11
Component: none | Version: master
Severity: medium | Keywords: deprecation
Lang: | Patch:
Platform: all |
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
The Parrot_compreg function registers a C function pointer as an NCI PMC
in the IGLOBALS_COMPREG_HASH global. This is only used by IMCC, and is not
really a sustainable solution. Basic NCI PMCs do not follow the interface
suggested in PDD31, although that's not really the biggest problem here.
A much more sustainable solution would be a function which takes a
compiler PMC and registers it. IMCC and any other utility that wants to,
can create it's own NCI PMC and register that through the same interface.
I would like to deprecate the Parrot_compreg function and replace it with
a more sustainable and extendable interface.
