I would like an elegant, easy to use solution for making the GC
play nicely.
So would we all. :)
This creates a sliding scope window that GC must not peep through,
and provides a clean interface for internals writers.
I think you've explained this idea before, but I complained about it
I may be approaching semi-radical territory here with this idea.
I've read all the FAQs and reasons on why we choose a register
architecture versus a stack architecture. However, I recently thought of a
combination idea which, (although it was probably discovered in the
70s sometime,) I think
Most vtable methods, and/or people that call vtable methods, will end up
making themselves critical. This overhead will be imposed on most function
calls, etc. Lots of the string api will require the users to mark
themselves as critical.
I don't think this is accurate. People calling vtable
I submitted a patch to implement the initial parts of Dan's method some time
ago, which has never been applied. (Although Dan recently agreed that it
needed to be done, and I will be updating it shortly in line with changes to
the memory management system) However, thinking about it some more,

Folks,
Yesterday I checked in the new JIT from Jason Gloudon.
Now it does NOT depend on an external assembler and disassembler
but instead uses some macros.
All tests succesful.
The size of the executable have been reduced by ~700K.

You're looking at the Parrot directory within parrot itself, right?
It was removed ages ago, and its contents moved into lib/. It was

The buflen of a new header was not always set to 0, which would cause SIGSEGVs
