bitwise ops and VTABLE functions

[cotto]

All bitwise ops will be moved to dynops after the 2.0 release. Before removing the bitwise ops, be sure that any HLLs (esp. Rakudo, Partcl, Lua) that depend on them have migrated to using the dynops. The bitwise dynops should be in place by the 2.0 release but can be added any time before then. Because the bitwise VTABLE functions are also being deprecated, the bitwise dynops should use get_integer, get_string or get_number and C-level bitwise ops (or string operations) to emulate the VTABLE functions.

To facilitate the migration, be sure to add a placeholder dynops library file before the 2.0 release; this will allow the same code to work before and after that release.

I know that quite a few ops have been migrated to dynops. Can someone describe the status of the bitwise ops mentioned in this ticket?

Thank you very much.

This appears to be complete. Closing ticket, removing notice from DEPRECATED.pod
