Major issue now is the bug with STRING and FLOATVAL constants bug (there's 1 or 2 tickets on that). I haven't really had the energy or time to work on that recently. The rest is just a matter of test+fix cycle; I'm sure there's all sorts of cases that should be tested more properly than I've done. So, although I'm confident that together we can fix PIRC, don't throw out imcc just yet.. kjs > > -- > Will "Coke" Coleda > _______________________________________________ > http://lists.parrot.org/mailman/listinfo/parrot-dev >
