 This page is a personal todo list for me, cotto.  Others are welcome to take on any tasks mentioned here, but the primary purpose for this page is to keep track of what I intend to do.  Because of that, I haven't spend much effort on breaking tasks down into bite-size chunks or made much of a concrete plan.  If you are interested in helping but don't know where to start, catch me on #parrot and I'll put you to work.

  - Annotations are slow.  Make it possible to avoid a Schlemiel the Painter algorithm by getting annotations from bytecode iteratively.

      - docs/parrotbyte.pod duplicates some of pdd13.  Merge parrotbyte.pod into the pdd.  It's hard enough to keep one document up-to-date.
      - It'd also be nice to speed up Parrot_Sub_get_line_from_pc since it currently eats about 15% of the processing time *after* caching its results.  Knowing PackFiles might help.
+ - Add --hash-seed=xxx to parrot so that hash order-related failures can be diagnosed more quickly.  [http://irclog.perlgeek.de/parrot/2009-12-18#i_1853127 Coke] recently ran a case where this would have made life easier.
  - test profiling output (pprof format)
  - test pprof to callgrind conversion and callgrind-style output

  - Fix CLI argument parsing so that options can be passed to the profiling runcore.
    - It'd also be nice if parrot were smart enough to treat -Rp or -Rprof to the same as -Rprofiling
