Parrot_ex_calc_handler_offset appears to be unused

[whiteknight]

The function src/exceptions.c:Parrot_ex_calc_handler_offset appears to be unused in the repo. I can't find any uses for it, are there any applications using it externally? If not, I think we could remove it.

This is what I get by grepping HEAD of trunk.

./src/exceptions.c:511:=item C<size_t Parrot_ex_calc_handler_offset(PARROT_INTERP)>
./src/exceptions.c:525:Parrot_ex_calc_handler_offset(PARROT_INTERP)

Let's say no one speaks up in its defense in seven days. I will then rip it out.

Thank you very much.

12 days passed. So I have begun this work in the remove_Parrot_ex_calc_handler_offset branch.

[jkeenan]

Ran both make test and make fulltest. The only test failure I got was the one which is afflicting all my testing on Linux/i386: the failure reported in TT #1393 in t/compilers/pge/pge_examples.t when run with --gc-debug. So there are no failures attributable to removing Parrot_ex_calc_handler_offset.

Branch merged into trunk in r43340. Will keep ticket open for a few days for any complaints.

[jkeenan]

There have been no complaints in four days. Closing ticket.

Thank you very much.
