Comment:
We have GCable packfiles now after the IMCC interface refactors and the
new PackfileView PMC merge. However, because packfiles are not being
properly marked, we have to GC register them, which leads to the same
problem.
What we need to do is:
- Remove the call to Parrot_pmc_gc_register from
Parrot_pf_get_packfile_pmc
- Build Parrot, find the resulting errors, and track down why the
packfile was collected.
- Fix those errors
We're much closer to fixing this ticket now, but we aren't there yet.
