options are too specific to GCC configure bug 2009-07-19T23:46:59Z "This ticket was created in [http://rt.perl.org/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=41497 RT #41497] by Paul T Cochrane in February 2007. I am moving it into the Trac system to raise its visibility. I believe it could be moved toward resolution by someone -- a newcomer, perhaps -- who was willing to spend some time doing Internet searching on the profiling options of various C compilers. Original description:[[BR]] '''The profiling options used in config/init/defaults.pm are specific to gcc. This should probably be specified in the relevant hints file.''' The relevant code in ''config/init/defaults.pm'' is this: {{{ if ( $conf->options->get('profile') ) { $conf->data->set( cc_debug => "" -pg "", ld_debug => "" -pg "", ); } }}} In the original ticket, Infinoid subsequently commented: ''This flag convinces gcc to generate profiling code specifically for the GNU profiler, `gprof`. I find it *extremely* unlikely that this flag would be available and/or mean the same thing for other compilers ...'' In addition, Andy Dougherty commented: ''[These options] are gcc-specific. A plain `-p` is common on Unix systems, but `-pg` is gcc-specific. For example, with Sun's C compiler, `-xpg` would be the equivalent flag. (Though Sun's C compiler also has other profile options selected by `-xprofile` ...)'' Could someone research profiling options on a variety of C compilers, including the principal C compilers for Windows?

This is probably true throughout the system as it stands, but those same routines take pains not to make that assumption in other places. Here is a line from the above routine: {{{ Buffer_buflen(buffer) = new_size - sizeof (void *); }}} If the size of a pointer is less than the buffer header size, the value stored in `buflen` will be too big. `new_size` includes the entire size of the buffer header, which may include alignment padding in addition to the pointer.

PIR will remain available to Parrot programs, however it will require loading before use (via the load_language instruction). A separate executable (tentatively named ""parrot-imcc"") will be made available for compiling and running PIR programs as the main parrot executable does today." 2011-05-22T01:39:15Z plobsing 4 whiteknight 1969 Deprecate Eval PMC core deprecation 2011-01-15T16:00:00Z We should deprecate this PMC. compregs should return the packfile PMC, or maybe the Sub PMC, but not Eval. 2011-10-24T14:45:17Z whiteknight 4 whiteknight 1356 [TODO] add method FixedStringArray.sort() core RFC 2009-12-03T17:54:22Z "Add the method sort in the FixedStringArray PMC. Currently, the method sort is only implemented in FixedPMCArray (and inherited by ResizablePMCArray). This method uses the C function Parrot_quicksort (in src/utils.c) which handles only PMC and not STRING." 2011-05-26T23:54:21Z fperrad 4 whiteknight 955 need ability to create tempfile from PIR testing todo 2009-08-28T18:05:43Z "to fully convert tests from Perl to PIR, we need a PIR-level analog to: {{{ use Parrot::Test::Util 'create_tempfile'; }}} ... I'm not sure if we can automatically delete; that would be nice, but a manual deletion at program exit is sufficient." 2011-07-07T19:29:50Z coke 4 whiteknight 1284 Integer PMC missing math methods core todo 2009-11-17T02:58:11Z "IMO, this code: {{{ .sub main $P1 = box 1.0 $N1 = $P1.'exp'() say $N1 $P1 = box 1 $N1 = $P1.'exp'() say $N1 .end }}} should print 2.71828182845905 2.71828182845905 ... but it dies with: {{{ 2.71828182845905 Method 'exp' not found for invocant of class 'Integer' }}} Clearly, exp isn't defined on Integer, but IMO, all the math methods defined on Float should be defined on Integer. (otherwise, given an arbitrary numeric PMC, we have to jump through hoops. (Alternatively, we can remove these methods from the Float PMC and rely on the opcodes.) This becomes even more confusing when you take in the morphing of the core types - a PMC that was a Float can morph into an Integer which is then unable to invoke the various methods.

Why do some scalars inherit from it and others don't? What exactly does it provide? For example, it appears to be the only PMC providing logical_not. Why does it mean to `provide scalar` and why does PDD17 say that Foo is the only PMC to do it? Perhaps the Scalar PMC should be eliminated, or perhaps it should be refactored with the Default class. At least it should be clearly documented." 2011-08-17T02:10:33Z Paul C. Anagnostopoulos 5 whiteknight 1448 Modify `throw` opcode to pass through pre-configured resume continuation core RFC 2010-02-16T01:10:15Z "Presently, the throw opcode creates and sets a resume continuation on the exception being thrown. Since 'resume' is an attribute of the Exception, throw should check first for a preconfigured continuation, and if one exists should preserve it. (Of course, if unset it should continue to do what it does.)" 2011-10-24T12:49:43Z Austin_Hastings 7 whiteknight 560 When we can't find a library, we shouldn't silently continue and give weird errors later core todo 2009-04-17T09:47:54Z In particular, I'd argue that we should quit with an error, and show the path we searched. 2011-07-09T11:24:11Z wayland 4 Yuki`N 1282 OS.cwd returns platform specific slashes... core todo 2009-11-17T02:34:48Z "... but some languages need a way to get agnostic slashes. Rather than have every HLL implement this, there should be some way to canonicalize the path, and a way to get the platform-specific path. (This will allow hlls to pick whichever method they prefer.) I don't particularly care about the implementation, as long as I can make {{{ C:\Tcl\bin>tclsh % puts [pwd] C:/Tcl/bin }}} work.
