interpinfo.pasm constants don't match docs in core.ops

[coke]

The constants in this generated file (presumably correct) need to be documented, and the old ones removed.

Some info. Here's what I get for generated file runtime/parrot/include/interpinfo.pasm:

.macro_const INTERPINFO_TOTAL_MEM_ALLOC 1
.macro_const INTERPINFO_GC_MARK_RUNS    2
.macro_const INTERPINFO_GC_COLLECT_RUNS 3
.macro_const INTERPINFO_ACTIVE_PMCS     4
.macro_const INTERPINFO_ACTIVE_BUFFERS  5
.macro_const INTERPINFO_TOTAL_PMCS      6
.macro_const INTERPINFO_TOTAL_BUFFERS   7
.macro_const INTERPINFO_HEADER_ALLOCS_SINCE_COLLECT     8
.macro_const INTERPINFO_MEM_ALLOCS_SINCE_COLLECT        9
.macro_const INTERPINFO_TOTAL_COPIED    10
.macro_const INTERPINFO_IMPATIENT_PMCS  11
.macro_const INTERPINFO_GC_LAZY_MARK_RUNS       12
.macro_const INTERPINFO_EXTENDED_PMCS   13
.macro_const INTERPINFO_CURRENT_RUNCORE 14
.macro_const INTERPINFO_CURRENT_SUB     15
.macro_const INTERPINFO_CURRENT_CONT    16
.macro_const INTERPINFO_CURRENT_OBJECT  17
.macro_const INTERPINFO_CURRENT_LEXPAD  18
.macro_const INTERPINFO_EXECUTABLE_FULLNAME     19
.macro_const INTERPINFO_EXECUTABLE_BASENAME     20
.macro_const INTERPINFO_RUNTIME_PREFIX  21

And here's the relevant docs from src/ops/core.ops:

       interpinfo
           Fetch some piece of information about the interpreter and put it in
           $1.  Possible values for $2 are defined in
           runtime/parrot/include/interpinfo.pasm.  The valid constants for
           each return value are:

           interpinfo(out INT, in INT)
               .TOTAL_MEM_ALLOC, .GC_MARK_RUNS, .GC_COLLECT_RUNS,
               .ACTIVE_PMCS, .ACTIVE_BUFFERS, .TOTAL_PMCS, .TOTAL_BUFFERS,
               .HEADER_ALLOCS_SINCE_COLLECT, .MEM_ALLOCS_SINCE_COLLECT,
               .TOTAL_COPIED, .IMPATIENT_PMCS, .GC_LAZY_MARK_RUNS,
               .EXTENDED_PMCS, .RUNCORE

           interpinfo(out PMC, in INT)
               .CURRENT_SUB, .CURRENT_CONT, .CURRENT_OBJECT, .CURRENT_LEXPAD

           interpinfo(out STR, in INT)
               .EXECUTABLE_FULLNAME, .EXECUTABLE_BASENAME, .RUNTIME_PREFIX

Stripping off .macro_constant INTERPINFO_ from the former and doing some word processing on the latter, then diff-ing, I get:

diff -w firstcolumn.interpinfo.pasm interpinfo.txt 
14c14
< CURRENT_RUNCORE
---
> RUNCORE

as the only difference apparent to the naive observer.

Where do we go from here?

Thank you very much.

Would the patch attached partially satisfy the objectives of this ticket?

.RUNCORE -> .CURRENT_RUNCORE

[cotto]

I've updated the inline pod in src/ops/core.ops in r49522 with jkeenan's patch. Is this enough to close this ticket?

Drop the pointless dots that doesn't make sense if the INTERPINFO_PREFIX is omitted and added a minimal explanation in  https://github.com/parrot/parrot/commit/7059420b7dd60bed4dff875a1510e4ad78adaf43

Closing.
