See NCITasklist This task does not depend on Lorito, but design and implementation should take the future of Lorito into consideration." allison 3 2.11 Release 607 ordered destruction GC major new 2009-04-28T22:56:44Z 2012-01-04T10:38:38Z Extend or modify the existing GC and GC modules to allow ordered destruction (guarantee that the children of one PMC will all be destroyed before that PMC, etc). allison 4 2.11 Release 622 serialize/resumable execution core normal new 2009-04-29T00:17:35Z 2011-08-27T17:16:56Z A wishlist feature for being able to save off the entire state of a currently executing interpreter and resume it later (or on a different machine). allison 4 2.11 Release 624 pluggable everything core normal allison new 2009-04-29T00:19:49Z 2012-01-04T10:40:43Z A blanket wishlist item to change a substantial part of the core to dynamic extensions. The first step of the task is reviewing Parrot core to decide what parts might be good candidates for a pluggable architecture. allison 4 2.5 Release 592 Add documentation for parrot_debugger docs normal allison new 2009-04-28T21:03:28Z 2011-03-27T14:14:19Z Add documentation for the PIR debugger, 'parrot_debugger'. We need more examples. allison 4 2.5 Release 593 standard seed libraries (postgres, opengl, etc) none normal new 2009-04-28T21:09:03Z 2010-10-16T22:21:39Z "Improve existing libraries for Postgres, OpenGL, etc, so they are reliable, and relatively feature complete. Explore other libraries that we should provide by default in a full Parrot install. The goal is to provide a small set of working libraries, both as an example to other library implementors, and to make it easier for average developers to tackle everyday tasks in Parrot. The set of seed libraries can be small, and libraries already implemented in an existing HLL are reasonable to satisfy the ""everyday tasks"" goal." allison 4 2.5 Release 1523 subroutine leave semantics/exit handlers core normal 2.2.0 new 2010-03-22T22:13:22Z 2010-10-16T22:18:47Z Various HLLs need the ability to attach arbitrary handlers on subroutine/scope exit. (e.g. tcl's [trace]) allison 4 2.6 Release 566 export conventions (cross hll) hll_interop normal new 2009-04-21T13:30:21Z 2010-04-06T21:32:00Z From https://trac.parrot.org/parrot/wiki/ParrotRoadmap. coke 4 2.6 Release 567 pdd31-hll interop hll_interop normal whiteknight new 2009-04-21T13:30:37Z 2010-11-22T15:51:46Z From https://trac.parrot.org/parrot/wiki/ParrotRoadmap. coke 4 2.6 Release 568 hll interop hll_interop normal whiteknight new 2009-04-21T13:31:01Z 2010-11-22T15:51:51Z From https://trac.parrot.org/parrot/wiki/ParrotRoadmap. coke 4 2.6 Release 599 bytecode generation from post none normal bacek new 2009-04-28T22:14:30Z 2011-02-20T23:50:26Z "Hello. Yes, in PIRATE and nqp_pct branches there is some initial work on generating PBCs from POST. Not finished yet. I'll probably jump on new NQP train and implement it there with future importing into parrot tree. -- Bacek" allison 4 2.6 Release 1522 sweep-free gc none normal new 2010-03-22T22:04:58Z 2010-04-06T21:41:14Z Implement a sweep-free garbage collector. Useful, not high-priority. allison 4 3.0 Release 565 remove optional features from default config, refactor config probes configure normal new 2009-04-21T13:29:50Z 2009-07-21T01:44:16Z From https://trac.parrot.org/parrot/wiki/ParrotRoadmap. coke 4 3.0 Release 598 bytecode migration tool none normal new 2009-04-28T22:12:53Z 2010-03-30T21:12:29Z "Write a tool to translate one bytecode format to another. Extra advantage if the changes to make can be specified in a simple syntax, and if the translations can be chained. (That is, once you write a file that details the changes from 2.0 bytecode to 2.6 bytecode and another one with the details of 2.6 bytecode to 3.0 bytecode, the translation tool is smart enough to use the two files to translate 2.0 bytecode to 3.0 bytecode by translating it to 2.6 as an intermediate step.) The tool will also have to give warnings about opcodes and PMCs that no longer exist, as these can't be mechanically translated. Tell the user to regenerate the bytecode from source instead." allison 4 3.0 Release 600 bytecode testing framework none normal new 2009-04-28T22:22:47Z 2010-03-30T21:13:21Z A framework for directly testing bytecode examples. Somewhat similar to the PIR/PASM/C testing framework. allison 4 3.0 Release 616 compacting/copying gc GC normal new 2009-04-28T23:30:41Z 2010-06-13T23:18:12Z Implement a compacting/copying garbage collection module for Parrot. This will require some changes to the Parrot core to make it possible to move objects. allison
