The POD for config/init/miniparrot.pm states:
Modifies settings to match miniparrot (ANSI C Parrot)'s needs. This step
primarily overwrites a lot of settings in the Configure database to disable
JIT and *match ANSI characteristics* (emphasis added).
How this package disables JIT is fairly self-evident because the attribute
names are self-
documenting:
jitarchname => 'nojit',
jitcpuarch => 'i386',
jitcpu => 'I386',
jitosname => 'nojit',
jitcapable => 0,
execcapable => 0,
cc_hasjit => '',
TEMP_jit_o => '',
But it's not clear how one can validate that the result will "match ANSI
characteristics." Is
there any link we could place in the POD that would show which ANSI C
characteristics we
need to have miniparrot match?
We could then think up some tests for that. Thank you very much.
