Attached patch overhauls the dotnet make + Configure system a bit,
so that the conditional make syntax is supported and the perl stuff is gone.

It requires the 57548-CONDITIONED_LINE_enh.patch (best wait for the
cygwin070patches merge)

 Yes, that's reasonable. The syntactic sugar was confusing in that case
 anyway. (Seemed like you were assigning a null value to the destination
 register, rather than nullifying the PMC in the destination register.)

 This belongs in a general category of opcodes where the standard
 transformation of call the opcode with the first argument stuck before an
 '=' sign doesn't really make sense.

 Allison


the problem seems to be a bit bigger than I had foreseen. The issue is that
ops with the first operand marked as 'OUT' may be rewritten as:
target = op [operand [, operand]*]?

However, consider the following:

.local pmc getstdin

$P0 = getstdin

How should this be resolved? is the opcode 'getstdin' meant here, or is it
the value of the .local getstdin. This problem occurrs with all ops, not
only with single-operand ops.

 Just because there's no activity or followups on a ticket doesn't mean
 the bug isn't still there. In this case, though, I can't reproduce the
 poster's original complaint about an absolute include path not
 working, ignoring the quality or state of his patch.
 
 We can close this ticket by adding a test that
 - creates a temporary PIR file with a simple one line :main that
 outputs something.
 - gets the absolute path of that file
 - uses another file to .include  that temporary file via the absolute
path.
 - verifies the output
 - removes the temporary file.
 

This patch adds test of this functionality to
t/compilers/imcc/syn/file.t .  It passes on Linux/x86.  I'll try it on a
windows machine tomorrow and apply it over the weekend unless there any
objections.

The goal of the ticket should be for pmc2c.pl to entirely parse the
input PMC files. Either passing through uncooked C, or doing
transformations. Silently dropping code on the floor is not
acceptable.

The script should either pass this through to the .c file (in which
case the build will fail when a c compiler looks at it), or the
transformation should error out.

In either case, the build stops, and the developer knows they need to
fix the METHOD declaration. I slightly prefer having the
transformation step fail because then we can emit a more helpful error
message about the METHOD signature, but if it's easier to just let it
passthrough, we can do that and close the ticket.

the sugar for what can be on the left side of an equals sign needs to
be changed. simply having a first parameter with OUT isn't enough. the
same thing happens for
  $P0 = push $S1
which is legal pir syntax, but obscure at best.

ops must have some means of specifying (perhaps an attribute like
C:returns or C:rvalue?) that allows them to be on the right side
of the equals. only this class of ops allows the syntax described
above.

in the case of
  .local pmc getstdin
  ...
  $P0 = getstdin

this can be resolved because the (now) compiler knows (either during
parsing or semantic analysis) that the Cgetstdin op is not allowed
to be an rvalue and lookup Cgetstdin in the list of C.locals as a
fallback.

  This is a patch in the sense of bandaid.  What is it about the letter
  'K' that means that this probe gives sloppy results on Kubuntu when on
  Ubuntu it has built cleanly for me every day since I started building
  Parrot?  
 
 The problem only appeared for me in Kubuntu a few weeks ago, and 
 then only intermittently until a week or so ago.  Prior to the 
 beginning of August Parrot had been building cleanly for me on 
 Kubuntu without any difficulty.
 
 As one of the earlier messages suggested, I think it may just be a
 race condition in the signal handling.

It's a wacky test in many respects.  For one thing, it tests using 
signal number '35' without any regard for what that signal might 
acutally mean.  On Solaris, for example, 35 is 'SIGFREEZE', which is
almost certainly not what was intended.

I suspect that on someone's Linux system, SIGRTMIN got reported as 34,
and so the test just hard-coded '35'.  It's quite possible that signal
35 means something different on recent versions of Kubuntu.

This patch takes the following small steps:

First, I replaced the 
retval =  *(int*)i-si_ptr;
line by
retval =  *(int*)i-si_value.sival_ptr;
I've never fiddled with this stuff before, but it looks like the si_ptr
#define is not necessarily very portable.  I replaced it by the si_value
and sival_ptr fields, which I hope are slightly more portable.

Second, it moves the small step of moving the logic of finding 
SIGRTMIN + 1 into the C program, where it's trivial.

Next, it adds in an else branch for the case where the program builds
but does not run successfully.  

Finally,  made sure the 'aio' and 'HAS_AIO' entries are always set to
some value.

I haven't looked for race conditions at all, but with this patch, I'll at 
least be more confident that it's trying to do what we think it's trying 
to do.

 #define is not necessarily very portable.  I replaced it by the
 si_value
 and sival_ptr fields, which I hope are slightly more portable.
 
 Second, it moves the small step of moving the logic of finding
 SIGRTMIN + 1 into the C program, where it's trivial.
 
 Next, it adds in an else branch for the case where the program builds
 but does not run successfully.
 
 Finally,  made sure the 'aio' and 'HAS_AIO' entries are always set to
 some value.
 
 I haven't looked for race conditions at all, but with this patch, I'll
 at
 least be more confident that it's trying to do what we think it's
 trying
 to do.
 

Thanks, Andy.  Applied in r30800 after testing on Linux and Darwin.

 FWIW, here is a data point:  What happens on my Darwin/PPC (10.4) Mac at
 auto::aio:
 
 On Darwin, Configure.pl reports that AIO is unsupported.  

Follow-up question:  If I 'locate aio' on my Mac and come up with this
(excerpted) list of files:

/usr/include/aio.h
/usr/include/sys/aio.h
/usr/share/man/man2/aio_cancel.2
/usr/share/man/man2/aio_error.2
/usr/share/man/man2/aio_read.2
/usr/share/man/man2/aio_return.2
/usr/share/man/man2/aio_suspend.2
/usr/share/man/man2/aio_write.2

... what *else* would I need to have AIO available on Darwin?

Thank you very much.
