Hi,

I know that I'm getting on everybodies nerves by now, but I got a bunch of new tests today, mainly sparc64.

Ehem, no. More the opposite.


... It's a little bit like collecting stamps, collecting parrot tests :-).

Yep. the reason for PLATFORMS too ;)

Great.


BTW, I noted that the Parrot PLATFORM file gives more information than the information I actually collect (like big,lil endian, threaded and so on). Why doesn't Configure.pl give a comprehension at the end to show all these options? Would be easier, because even parrot -V doesn't give these informations.

Yep.
- threads need config support "threads=threading-model" or some such. E.g. "posix", "posix-linuxthreads", "posix-NPTL", "Win32", ..., undef
- signals similar
- big/little endian is available
$ parrot parrot-config.imc byteorder
1234
- JIT is "jitcapable", EXEC similar
- CGOTO isn't directly available, but:
$ parrot parrot-config.imc --dump|grep -i goto
cg_flag => '-DHAVE_COMPUTED_GOTO'


Maybe

$ parrot parrot-config.imc --summary

could provide it.


Have fun,
