Here's my latest bug, which I will work on tracking down. It's a pretty
huge blocker for everything I've been working on, so there's no sense in
spending my time elsewhere:
sub def ($arg) {
return $arg;
}
$o = 25;
$q = def($o);

Sorry if this comment is out of context, I am behind but catching
up. The patch in [perl #16797] adds a scratchpad pmc (among other
things). Hopefully it is not too far out of date to apply. I
believe Melvin is looking into it ...

Another bug. This injects a stringified reference into the IMC:
sub xyz(*@rest) { }
xyz([1,2]);
xyz([]); # This one is probably the same
Got a chance to narrow this one down while I was in a meeting :)

If I want to tell Configure.pl that it needs to look in /foo/bar for
some extra include files, is there a way to convince Configure to
append that to $Config{ccflags} other than hacking config/init/data.pl?
I did this, but it is quite ugly

The following two lines of Perl 6 causes the compiler to recurse
infinitely, which shows off Perl 5's recursion detection quite nicely :)

Not yet. Someday there will probably be a Sockets extension for parrot (not

Certainly. I think we would want also want native sizes, so we can

Attached is a sample implementation of a minor subset of
pack/unpack functionality. Code is not optimised in any way,
and error checking is basically non-existent.
Opcodes are:
convert Sx, Iy, Iz - pack integer Iy into string Sx per type Iz
convert Ix, Sy, Iz - unpack integer Ix from

The immediate culprit was config/gen/core_pmcs.pl, which now puts out
prototypes of

So, I'm almost done and ready to cut the Builtins patch, but the

I get no warnings or errors while it reads and parses the Builtins, but
then Tree.pm throws a number of uninitialized value warnings and then

You're welcome, but that wasn't for you, that was for Juergen

imcc (0.0.9) has an integrated parrot interpreter and tries to write out
a PBC file too. Running code succeeds currently for ~95 % of perl6
