This page exists to track Khairul's Google Summer of Code project to add instrumentation tools to Parrot.  While the project progresses, work will be done in the gsoc_instrument branch.

== week 1 (May 24th - 30th) ==

Prototype the API.

Status: completed on schedule

== week 2 (May 31st - June 6th) ==

Implement the base tool.

Status: completed on schedule

== week 3 (June 7th - 13th) ==

Implement simple instruments.

Status: completed on schedule (tracer.nqp)

== week 4 (June 14th - 20th) ==

Code review, tests and documentation. If possible, add GC hooks.

Status: review completed, tests insufficient and documentation nonexistent

== week 5 (June 21st - 27th) ==

Instrument Query API (2-3 weeks planned).  Note: Instrument Query API was found to be unnecessary.

Status: limited progress (external circumstances)

== week 6 (June 28th - July 4th) ==

Instrument Query API (2nd week).  Note: Goal changed to increasing test coverage and implementing GC instrumentation.

Status: completed on schedule

== week 7 (July 5th - 11th) ==

Implement advanced instruments, e.g. exception and register monitors.

Status: sidetracked by refactoring and debugging

== week 8 (July 12th - 18th) ==

Code review and documentation. Explore building a simple debugger as a test case for existing code.

Status: limited progress

== week 9 (July 19th - 25th) ==

Catchup.  If time permits, explore other uses for instrumentation.

Status: completed

== week 10 (July 26th - August 1st) ==

Finalizing of all APIs.

Status: completed

== week 11 (August 2nd - 8th) ==

Documentation.

Status: 

== week 12 (August 9th - 15th) ==

Final code review and documentation. Documentation should be comprehensive enough to implement independent tools using this code as a base.
