i've checked in a subset of Perl 5.9.2's regexp tests for PGE to chew
on. for now, i modified the stolen harness to emit PIR. the harness is
currently very ugly... that won't be for long, however, as i'll
refactor it soon.
currently, only 130 of 960 tests are running, as the PIR-producing
harness can't cope with some of the test file syntax that the
Perl-producing harness used. this will be corrected as well. i noticed
when i don't cut off the tests at 130, i get some runaway parrot
processes which eat all memory and cpu. i'll attempt to isolate the
tests that produce this behavior so i can determine the cause.
the files can be found at t/compilers/pge/p5regexp/ in r10133, and are
run as part of 'make test'. you can run them in isolation by typing
prove t/compilers/pge/p5regexp/
as always, bug and smoke reports are most welcome. enjoy.
