RISC processor have a lot of them. But before there are unused 
processor registers, we will allocate P and S registers too. When a 
CPU has more then 4*32 free registers, we will look again.
Like IA64? AFAIK it has 128 integer registers and 128 fp registers...

ARG. When did this get chosen?
~ has to be absolutly the most difficult letter to type on the intire 
keyboard along with ^ and , because they are also used as a prefix to 
make û, ü, õ, ã, ñ etc.
Thus a standalone ~ must be made with a AltGr+^ followed by a space.





Re: [netlabs #482] New Tickets now come to p6i

2002-04-02 Thread Dennis Haney

could the http://bugs6.perl.org/rt2/Ticket/Display.html?id=XX link be 
posted in the messages?

 Ok -

 New tickets created in the parrot queue on bugs6.perl.org are now 
 automagically sent to p6i.  You can just reply to them and the right 
 thing will happen -- the messages will get tracked.  Just keep the 
 [netlabs #foo] string in the header.

 If the tickets don't show up immediately after you've created 
 them, it's probably because they've been sent to moderation.

Re: How do we clean up?

What command can we agree on to leave only the files listed in MANIFEST
and no other files?  It used to be that 'distclean' did that, but no more.


Just from experience, make clean should remove any files that make
created, and I believe that make realclean should remove everything that
wasn't there after unpacking/checkout. Given that, perhaps for our purposes,
make realclean should remove all of the files not listed in MANIFEST?

Very bad idea...  realclean should remove all files which can be generated.
