Re: reconfiguring configure

2005-11-09 Thread Joshua Hoblitt
I've taken a look at using Module::Pluggable to register configure steps. The simplest way to do this is to let Module::Pluggable search through the ./config directory. This requires renaming all of the .pl configure files to .pm because of hardwired assumptions in Module::Pluggable. This is a w

Test Case: Complex Numbers

2005-11-09 Thread Jonathan Lang
The following is an attempt to put a number of Perl6 concepts into practice, in order to see how useful and intuitive they actually are. Complex numbers come in two representations: rectilinear coordinates and polar coordinates: class complexRectilinear { has $.x, $.y; method infix:+ ($a is c

Hi, It was pointed out to me that if you used load_bytecode with either PIR or PASM then the debug info was wrong. This has now been sorted out. Also, we've sometimes been getting line numbers wrong since the new calling scheme went in, which has been fixed too. Plus other small boring twea

schizophrenic 'find_type' opcode considered dubious

2005-11-09 Thread Roger Browne
The 'find_type' opcode seems to return a positive integer for a PMC or ParrotObject, and a negative integer for a Parrot datatype such as "longlong". How is this useful? If you are using 'find_type' to get an int to pass to the 'new' opcode then you don't want the negative type numbers, and if you
