I'll admit to being a shy lurker... (and have rudimentary C knowledge, but a
bit low on the elbow grease atm :-/)
This also gives me an opportunity to mention to anyone with more time (and
possibly ability) than me, that parrot is having problems on LinuxPPC. The
specifics are:
- parrot hangs on t/op/arithmetics when doing make test
- make gives an implicit declaration of posix_memalign, but doesn't seem
to have problems beyond this
- a lot of warnings about implicitly truncating to unsigned type
- a lot of warnings about discarding qualifiers
(I don't know how much people worry about these kinds of things, but I
found with the software I'm working on atm, that implicity truncation to
unsigned was a problem found only on LinuxPPC, but not on LinuxX86,
something to do with differences between the gcc's)
Here's some more info that may help.
$ uname -a
Linux 2.4.19-r6 #7 Tue Apr 22 16:54:53 EST 2003 ppc 740/750 GNU/Linux
$ gcc --version
2.95.3
$ perl --version
This is perl, v5.8.0 built for powerpc-linux
I hope any of this helps, and if it's possible for me to contribute, even some
reasonably trivial task (something possibly like what Melvin mentioned earlier
in the week re: macros) would be ok.
I'm really impressed with the amount of work people are doing on parrot and
related stuff. Keep up the good work! :-)
Later
