I've been developing Parakeet on a month old Parrot build, so today I decided to update to a recent checkout, and Parakeet broke two ways.
The first is multi-inheritance stopped working, but that's not as big a deal as the new problem.
Gack -- it's a very big deal, and the test suite should've picked that up. D'you have a code snippet that demonstrates it, so we can fix the problem and get a test to help keep it happening in the future?
Print a prompt, read a line, print the line, print the prompt, a simplification of Parakeet's interpreter loop. it works on a month old parrot checkout just fine, but on a checkout done this afternoon it prints the prompt *after* it reads the line.
This one looks like an autoflush problem. I don't think we've ever formally defined what happens when you don't set the autoflush properties of filehandles,and I think some of Leo's IO optimizations for the piethon are causing a problem here. Doesn't look like we've defined how to set autoflushing for filehandles, so we'd best go do that.
