Hi all,
I was having a poke around in DEPRECATED.pod and I've got a couple of
questions about the items therein:
.imc file extension paragraph:
There aren't any .imc files in parrot anymore as far as I can tell.
So, should this paragraph be in DEPRECATED.pod anymore? If not, I can
supply a patch removing it. From looking at the parrot-porters thread
associated with the paragraph, there might still be some outstanding
issues, with this change. Is this still the case?
AFAIK all '*.imc' have been renamed.
Deprecated opcodes paragraph:
To remove the deprecated C<fetchmethod> opcode does one simply remove
the references to it in src/ops/object.ops (and other .ops files), and
remove the function from src/ops/ops.num? Does one then move all of
the ops numbers "up" so that there isn't a gap caused by removing the
opcodes? Is this relabelling of the opcode numbers going to break
anything else? If not, should I go through and remove references to
C<fetchmethod> and fix up ops.num and patch?
I think you mostly got it.
For the renumbering of src/ops/ops.num you can use
make -f tools/dev/ops_renum.mak
Also see the notes in PBC_COMPAT.
CU, Bernhard
