Change History

In order to properly track temporaries we'll need to add a fair bit of instrumentation to PAST; this may occur as part of an nqp rewrite. See also the discussion at  http://irclog.perlgeek.de/parrot/2011-02-01#i_3243345 .

  • status changed from new to closed
  • resolution set to wontfix

Closing ticket as "wontfix". PCT now makes much better re-use of temporary registers within subs, vastly reducing the need to explicitly null out temporaries to free up objects.
