Announcing the Phalanx project

2003-09-26 Thread Andy Lester
Phalanx is a Perl QA project created to provide a solid testing base for Ponie, the next version of Perl 5 that will be based on the Parrot virtual machine. By increasing the test coverage of Perl modules and Perl itself, we will make Ponie be the best-tested version of Perl ever. We also hope

Pondering parameterized operators

2003-09-26 Thread Austin Hastings
So I sit here and think for a minute about how nice it will be in P6 to be able to define operator infix:eqi($str1, $str2) {...} for doing if ($1 eqi last) and I think about the whole 'C' string library. Which dredges up my old questions about parameterized operators: How can I

CVS checkout hints for the bandwidth-limited

2003-09-26 Thread Dan Sugalski
Just a reminder to everyone (especially now that we've updated ICU so there's a lot of data to sync with) you can tell CVS to use a compressed channel for its data. For mostly-text (like, say, ICU's source) this works pretty well. Just add the -zN flag to the CVS line, where N is a number

Given Leo's new scheme for C code tests, I suggest that we add a header to be included in the test, and modify Parrot::Test so that it knows to add the header's location to the command. This patch puts the header in parrot/t/c_test_header.h. The correct scheme for a C test can now be:
