Description (last modified by cotto) (diff)

Much code and many comments refer to 'vtable methods'. This term is inaccurate and deprecated. In most cases, it should be replaced with 'vtable function'.

Results of grep -ni ':vtable.*:method' on repository

cotto,

I have attached a 169-line file with the results of a grep -ni ':vtable.*:method' on the repository. Could you look it over and suggest a plan of attack? (i.e., if I were to just do a search-and-replace, where would it work and where would it be likely to break?)

Thank you very much.

jkeenan, That's not what this ticket is about. This ticket concerns the use of the English phrase "vtable method" in documentation and comments, not pir-level subs marked as both :vtable and :method.

(This was intended to be the last half of my previous comment, not an addition to the ticket's description.)

That said, I'm tagging this task as "newbie" since this would be a good way for someone to build familiarity with Parrot while helping to keep the docs fresh.
