Q: freeze/thaw data format and PBC

Are there already any plans for the frozen image data format? Currently I'm writing plain ASCII strings, which is quite handy for testing. The Plan(tm) is to use PBC constant format (or extensions to this) later, so that PMC constants nicely integrate into byte-code and that freezing closures

Q: Hash store

While implementing freeze/thaw I come - again - to this issue. Currently a HASH can store arbitrary and in one hash mixed items. This is done by storing an union with a type field. (List based) arrays on the other hand only have one fixed type per aggregate (e.g. ints for IntList or PMCs for

Re: docs

I have noticed that docs\parrot_assembly.pod is old version of \docs\pdds\pdd06_pasm.pod file. Will these files be distinguished in the future? And they're both wrong, unfortunately. :( pdd06 is supposed to be canonical, so parrot_assembly.pod will be going away at some point. And

[RfC] (fd)open files on other layers than the default layer.

Hello, currently there is no (simple) way to open a file on an other layer than the default layer. But this is necessary if we want to take advantage from the layered approach. So i added two new functions: pio_open_with_layer and pio_fdopen_with_layer which create IO-Objects on different

[Commit] Character classification functions

The infrastructure is now in place to test for character classes other than is_digit. Character class functions may be specific to one class, or generic; this split is controlled by the sequence of the enums in chartype.h Currently only is_digit has a dedicated function call slot, as this is the
