Howdy, It kind of looks like errorson(.PARROT_ERRORS_GLOBALS_FLAG) does nothing. There is no test coverage for this function with this argument. Has anybody ever used it successfully? Duke On Tue, Feb 16, 2010 at 12:27 PM, Perry Wagle wrote: > [Please do just poke at me until I make sense.]

Patrick discovered a memory leak in 2.1.0 earlier today that will impact rakudo's release; chromatic has fixed this bug in trunk. We're trying to put together a 2.1.1 release this evening to include just that bugfix: Here's a branch with the work; copied from the 2.1.0 tag with just the updates f

As per TT #1145, the functions Parrot_call_sub and Parrot_call_sub_reti are being removed. I have removed them in the parrot_call_dep branch.
