tetragon Triangle spins on OS X 10.5 (ppc) 03:40
japhb wheee 03:46
I am *so* happy to have that merged 03:47
git++ # Utterly painless local branches
I'm already getting to love that feature
The merge is way saner than SVK, too. 03:48
03:49 Theory joined
cotto_home looks like something broke 03:53
nopaste?
clunker3 pasta.test-smoke.org/ or paste.husk.org/ or nopaste.snit.ch:8001/ or rafb.net/paste or poundperl.pastebin.com/ or paste.scsys.co.uk/
purl somebody said nopaste was at nopaste.snit.ch/ (ask TonyC for new channels) or rafb.net/paste or paste.husk.org/ or poundperl.pastebin.com/ or paste.scsys.co.uk/ or don't bother me while I'm eating or App::Nopaste or tools/dev/nopaste.pl
nopaste "cotto_home" at 75.92.237.130 pasted "OpenGL brokenness on Linux/x86" (12 lines) at nopaste.snit.ch/13129 03:54
japhb checking ...
WTF? Who puts command lines in a header file? 03:55
OK, give me a couple minutes to kill this.
cotto_home: can you email me a tarball of your /usr/include/GL/ ? 03:56
cotto_home it looks like the triangle still spins, though 03:57
japhb yeah, those were warnings, not errors 03:58
cotto_home sure. where to?
japhb but I'd like to be warning-free
japhb?
purl it has been said that japhb is Geoffrey Broadwell, mailto:geoff@broadwell.org
04:01 silug joined
japhb wants to go back in time and shake K&R vigorously: "STOP BEING SO SLIPPERY ABOUT SIZED TYPES!" 04:03
cotto_home sorry for the delay. My mail server's being uncharacteristically slow. 04:04
japhb np
I'm trying to find a sane definition of 'size_t', and all I'm getting is insanity or begging the question. 04:05
I'm about to just call it a 'long' and go on with my day.
FINALLY found it -- it's 'unsigned long' 04:12
cotto_home: mail still not getting through? 04:16
Tene japhb: what is merge like in svk?
japhb Tene: well, for one thing, it sometimes thinks the entire file has changed when someone else commits your patch (without changes), and you try to sync up again. git notices that all the changes are to the exact same content, and drops the local patch. 04:18
Secondarily, I don't know if it doesn't exist in SVK, or I never found it, but git wins many points by doing the right thing WRT 'git rebase' 04:19
I'm just finding in general that (aside from sheer number of the git options), working with git has been pretty painless, mostly "oh hey, that's cool!" moments. 04:20
Tene nods.
japhb SVK was more of "this sucks less than SVN, and disconnected operation is nice" but not truly painless. (Though clearly clkao had tried to add defaulting to make things more self-obvious, IMHO the git guys have done a better job of this in most instances.) 04:22
spinclad they've had a long time, and good hackers, to tune it on the kernel tree 04:24
dalek r27985 | chromatic++ | trunk: 04:26
: [src] Added documentation for all undocumented functions.
: Fixed some minor typos.
: Tidied the code slightly.
diff: www.parrotvm.org/svn/parrot/revision?rev=27985
Tene I'll be traveling again this week, so looks like I'll have time for cardinal again. 04:27
I'm also starting work on a smalltalk grammar.
04:28 tetragon joined
Tene Wasn't parsing, though, so I'll try it again while awake, and if that doesn't work, I'll try it with caffeine. 04:28
japhb Tene++
spinclad: nodnod
spinclad: and large numbers of highly motivated good hackers makes a big difference, no matter how good a single hacker is. 04:29
Tene: I find the best caffeine is dark chocolate.
caffeine + endorphins + random good-for-you chemicals + tastes good = mmmmmm.... 04:30
ank = coronary thrombosis? 04:32
spinclad Tene: name of squawk? 04:33
japhb ank: don't think so. 70+% cacao dark chocolate is even IIRC diabetic-safe
I've heard doctors recommend 1-2 oz per day of 70+% dark chocolate. Sorta like that "glass of red wine" thing. I just prefer chocolate over wine. 04:34
tetragon Unfortunately the chocolate I like is a bit on the expensive side 04:35
japhb tetragon: what's your chosen brand?
tetragon (Tends to run $8.25/100g)
cotto_home I wonder if nutella counts
tetragon japhb: Soma. It's a local chocolatier 04:36
japhb tetragon: right now I like Valrhona (sp?) and El Rey -- the latter costs half the former, and I tend to like it more. There's also a fantastic one I found from a single plantation in South America (Columbia?) but I've forgotten the brand and can't find it anymore. :-( 04:37
tetragon japhb: www.somachocolate.com
ank nice 04:38
i tried some 85% lindt one a few months ago
i've never had anything like that before 04:39
tetragon japhb: Another local brand I like is ChocoSol
japhb tetragon: Ah, Toronto. Hmmm, I wonder if I can get that through a local retailer ... Whole Foods might carry it, I guess.
tetragon www.chocosoltraders.com/
japhb Soma's home page image is a pretty awesome collage 04:40
tetragon The ChocoSol varieties tend less towards the traditional fine chocolate and more towards rustic
japhb NICE: www.chocosoltraders.com/ingredients.html
If there is any particular place in the world I want to visit, I think Oaxaca is in the top 3. Hard to beat the art and chocolate. 04:41
tetragon Their Oxaca Crunch is good 04:42
And they're where I first tried raw cacao 04:44
japhb How did you like it? 04:45
tetragon Like what? I stayed in Toronto. Oaxaca Cruch is one of the chocolate varieties 04:46
japhb tetragon: raw cacao 04:47
dalek r27986 | japhb++ | trunk:
: [OpenGL] Mesa headers compatibility
: * Fix a couple warnings in Mesa headers for cotto_home++
: * Still one such warning unfixed
diff: www.parrotvm.org/svn/parrot/revision?rev=27986
tetragon It tasted a bit like chocolate-flavoured dirt 04:48
japhb cotto_home: r27986 should fix 2/3 of your Configure warnings. As soon as I get your header tarball, I'll work on a clean fix for the last one (the inline shell code)
tetragon: heh
tetragon japhb: They've worked on their raw chocolates so that they don't taste like dirt (the earlier batches did) 04:49
japhb nodnod
tetragon Although for really good hot chocolate, I'd have to go with Soma 04:50
It's like drinking molten chocolate
(which it mostly is) 04:51
japhb tetragon: there was a place around 2 hours south of here that had amazing hot chocolate -- like 5 different varieties, my favorite of which had that "molten chocolate" think, plus lots of distinct spicings. 04:52
Wonder if it's still there
s/think/thing
tetragon As for chocolate that I can buy from the grocery store: www.cocoacamino.com/en/index.php
cotto_home japhb, you should have it soon, if not now 04:55
s/it/them/
japhb cotto_home: not quite yet, but my mail server pulls from upstream, rather than accepting pushes, so there's a 60-second delay built in
tetragon really wants chocolate now 04:56
pmichaud christmas chocolate?
japhb tetragon: /me cheated, and ate some of my chocolate before starting this thread. ;-)
cotto_home looks better. japhb++ 04:57
and after looking at that mess, japhb++ again 04:59
japhb Which mess?
The header?
purl The header is 'Referer:'
japhb purl, forget the header
purl japhb: I forgot header
tetragon cotto_home: It couldn't have been worse than the OS X headers, could it? 05:00
cotto_home I wouldn't know 05:01
dalek r27987 | chromatic++ | trunk:
: [tools] Made c2str stop lying about how long constant strings are in C source
: code. Now they're correct in the generated src/string_private_cstring.h.
japhb cotto_home: trust me, the OS X headers were nuts.
dalek diff: www.parrotvm.org/svn/parrot/revision?rev=27987
japhb cotto_home: though, after just spelunking through some of the gcc-internal headers, I'm finding a whole new definition of "nuts" 05:02
tetragon japhb: I just noticed the OS X headers refered to a header I didn't send you, AvailabilityMacros.h. I just found it in /usr/include 05:05
japhb That's the thing that filled in the "AVAILABLE_MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_5_AND_LATER", I assume ...?
tetragon Yes 05:06
And what would be filled in depended upon OS X version
Full of #if statements enclosing things like #define AVAILABLE_MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_4_AND_LATER_BUT_DEPRECATED_IN_MAC_OS_X
_VERSION_10_5 DEPRECATED_ATTRIBUTE
japhb I just filtered that stuff out as noise. 05:07
tetragon notices that some of those macro names are over 80 characters
So, no handling of deprecation or of limiting based upon what the target environment is? 05:08
japhb At this point, it really doesn't help us to be anal about matching Apple's deprecations. Worst that happens is that one of our users manages to use a deprecated CGL API or something, and I don't think it's really our job to police that.
Mind you, in code we ship, we should avoid using deprecated APIs (if we can), but we shouldn't prevent our *users* from making that decision on their own. 05:09
So if it's declared in a header, I wrap it.
cotto_home: oddly, your mail still has not arrived. 05:10
Is Mac OS X 10.4 always 32-bit? Or is there a 64-bit 10.4? 05:14
tetragon IIRC, the core of OS X 10.4 is always 32-bit 05:15
Userland may vary
japhb tetragon: OK, thanks.
tetragon doesn't have a 64-bit box handy
dalek r27988 | chromatic++ | trunk:

japhb cotto_home: tarball received, thanks
dalek : + Mac OS X 10.4 disagrees with everyone else about some typedefs, and
: + This doesn't actually matter (and was fixed in 10.5), so is ignored
diff: www.parrotvm.org/svn/parrot/revision?rev=27989
japhb cotto_home: what's your OS? 05:26
tetragon japhb: developer.apple.com/macosx/64bit.html 05:27
japhb tetragon++ # Always quick with the Apple docs 05:32
Interestingly, the one place that that page explicitly said 64-bit code *doesn't* work is for GUI code. But they don't bother to specify if OpenGL is part of that. I guess I have to assume so. And it looks like 10.4 only has any 64-bit on PPC. 05:33
PPC G5, to be precise 05:34
tetragon I think the original version of that doc was written before the Intel Macs came out
japhb Anyone have a PPC G5 or 64-bit Intel Mac running Mac OS X 10.4? kid51 has 10.4/PPC, but didn't specify which processor. 05:35
tetragon I think his is a laptop, which would make it 32-bit
And none of my home machines are 64-bit 05:36
dalek r27990 | chromatic++ | trunk:
: [JIT] Cleaned up warnings in x86 JIT (NotFound, RT #55134).
diff: www.parrotvm.org/svn/parrot/revision?rev=27990
japhb tetragon: damn, I think that's a hole in our testing
'our' == parrot in general 05:37
tetragon I just ran the file command on OpenGL on my 10.4 box 05:41
It only reported 32-bit libraries, unlike on my 10.5 box
japhb tetragon: nodnod. That matches other evidence. 05:42
tetragon And "make -j4" falls over on my dual-core Intel
japhb Something GL-related? 05:43
tetragon Nope, src/builtin.c
japhb (There is one known GL dependency issue, but I'm not sure about the best place to fix it) 05:44
tetragon The one where the glut callbacks depend upon libparrot?
Or is this the error handling one
japhb tetragon: I thought Ron's fixes cleared up those ... or maybe they just made things "better" but not "right" 05:45
cotto_home japhb, Debian Linux on x86
japhb I was talking about the fact that runtime/parrot/library/OpenGL.pbc depends on both OpenGL.pir and OpenGL_funcs.pir 05:46
tetragon I'll need to try another build without -undefined dynamic_lookup at some point
japhb ... But there's also the problem that a LOT of those library .pbc's depend on includes in runtime/parrot/include/, and as far as I can tell none of those dependencies are declared. 05:47
tetragon But from what I see in the Makefile, the libparrot thing does appear to have been dealt with
japhb cotto_home: Using pure Mesa? Or vendor GL layered on top of system Mesa?
.oO( 'make realclean; perl Configure.pl; make; make test' can be annoyingly slow at times ... )

cotto_home r27991 works. thanks
japhb cotto_home: Mind if I feed your platform info to the bot?
cotto_home I'm using Intel's 3d drivers 05:58
nope
japhb cotto_home: done 05:59

OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) 945GM 20061017 x86/MMX/SSE2
OpenGL version string: 1.3 Mesa 7.0.3
OK, I thought I would have only the Voodoo (and similar era) cards stuck at 1.3, but it looks like even the 945GM is stuck there ... at least, with Mesa 7.0. 06:09
Anyone know if nopaste.snit.ch pastes are permanent, or temporary? 06:11
cotto_home they're temporary 06:12
japhb cotto_home: for how long?
cotto_home idk
japhb k
cotto_home I can send you the files if it'd make life easier 06:13
japhb cotto_home: yeah, please, if it's not too much trouble. The pastes give me stuff to think about, but I'll want to keep permanent copies. 06:14

pmichaud somewhere in Parrot there's a bug that causes segmentation faults. Adding the -G option seems to make this go away.

masak in parrot?
purl hmmm... in parrot is false.
moritz yes
NotFound masak: looks like not, given that fails same way building with C and with C++ 18:10
masak maybe I need to remake
moritz masak: the reduced test only fails for me when I run parrot with --runcore=gcdebug
masak oh 18:11
moritz masak: ..after 3 minutes execution time ;)
NotFound masak: it does not fail for unless I use the gcdbeug core.
masak pray tell, what is this gcdebug core?
seems it is neither fast nor safe to use :)
NotFound masak: the gcdebug core makes a full gc after each opcode.
masak haha 18:12
NotFound So it's no exactly very fast.
But helps reproduce bugs.
There's a chromatic's article in perl.com about it. 18:13
masak you should use some Monte Carlo method to randomly add and remove GCs between each opcode, keeping the ones that go wrong
but favoring minimal sets 18:14
moritz or just an option to run GC after each $n opcodes
NotFound A Las Vegas method will be more enlighten X-)
masak :)
moritz bug report is [perl #55164] 18:15
NotFound Same stacktrace with the reduced case. 18:16
moritz aye
you can also remove the 'use v6;'
which seems to be a no-op anyway
masak does it produce opcodes? otherwise, it doesn't matter 18:17
yup, it spat out the failed assertion here too
moritz wonders if there is a way to execute the compilation with normal runcore, and only the execution wih the gcdebug runcore 18:19
masak moritz: oh. I'm starting to realize what took time now...
NotFound moritz: probably to add a --runcore option to the executable will be simpler.
japhb moritz: output to .pir, and then run that manually? 18:21
moritz japhb: the generated pir doesn't run
Class 'Perl6Array' not found
japhb moritz: eww 18:22
moritz so it seems to need some libraries, and I don't know how to include them
japhb Actually, I think that may be a valid RT -- when PCT is told to output to .pir, either that .pir should be directly runnable, or there should at least be an option to output the .pir with runtime setup included so that it *will* directly run. 18:23
moritz japhb: there's already a ticket for that 18:26

moritz it's not excellent, because it means debugging is much harder
NotFound moritz: agree.
jhorwitz oh i see
kinda like when buggy code works in gdb. :-P 18:39
NotFound As some tickets say, it must be the old gc problem manifesting again.
masak is there a way to compile but not run using gcdebug?
moritz masak: try ../../parrot --runcore=debug perl6.pbc -c $file 18:40
masak let's hope that variant breaks in the same way
jhorwitz afk &
masak i.e. that the error is in the compilation phase, and not an interaction between compilation and runtime

syntax OK

moritz masak`: seems like, yes 18:56
masak` (whoever finally solves it)++ 18:57
pmichaud (gc problem) switching runcores in the middle probably doesn't help find a gc bug, because gc bugs are very dependent on the order of execution
i.e., even changing a single instruction is often enough to make the evidence of the bug disappear 18:58
NotFound That's why gcdebug is so useful.
pmichaud correct. 18:59
slow, but useful.
actually, "slow" doesn't describe it well. Excruciatingly slow. Feels like working on geologic timescales :-)
moritz pmichaud: do you think an option to executed GC only each $N opcodes would be helpful? 19:00
19:00 Zaba joined
pmichaud moritz: I don't know enough about parrot internals to know for sure. 19:00
NotFound Yes, but the solution is to have a more robust gc, in order to not have to use it frequently.
moritz NotFound: ah right. Go ahead and implement it... (/me ducks very deep) 19:01
NotFound moritz: I think an option to not use it until n opcodes executed will be useful.
masak` plus a script that does binary search on the exact point of error 19:02
NotFound That way one can try several n values in each case.
masak`: binary search if fast enough to do it by hand. 19:03
masak` NotFound: not sure I parsed that. 19:04
NotFound masak`: I think there is no need for the script in the majority of usages.
tetragon Ick, t/pmc/exception.t started failing recently on my box (no segfault/sigbus)
moritz if you want good binary search, used gi + git-svn 19:05
masak` NotFound: you may be right
time to go home and plug in the laptop
pmichaud (standalone PIR) I worked on getting pir-output modules to run standalone last night, but got too tired to finish. 19:07
however, I don't think they'll be useful for gc debugging, since it's another case of the sequence of operations changing to hide the bug
Tene pmichaud: I have a question about interactive execution. 19:09
NotFound pmichaud: I think most gc bugs are hidden because after a few opcodes the offending vars are reused, in that case will be useful. But I don't have any evidence, just a thought.
Tene pmichaud: actions.pm currently uses @?BLOCK to keep track of symbol tables and such, and a few other similar tricks. That environment isn't available after compilation ends. Is there a plan to fix this such that interactive mode can actually work? 19:11
pmichaud Tene: That's not really the problem.
by the time a program is running, @?BLOCK may be long gone
(e.g., imagine the case where we compile to .pir and then run the .pir
)
in interactive mode, we need to be able to execute code that modifies the current lexical environment 19:12
but Parrot isn't really set up for that, since lexical scopes are tied to .sub, and the smallest unit of execution we have is a .sub
Tene pmichaud: So the actions.pm stage needs to be able to look things up in the current lexical environment, then? 19:13
pmichaud partially. But consider this:
if I do: my @past = ();
when compiled, it acts as if I had done
{ my @past = () }
Tene Right.
pmichaud (because the statement has to be in a sub) 19:14
which means that the @past variable was local to that one interactive line
so we have to have a way for interactive mode to be able to propagate the lexicals it defined into its outer environment
Tene Yes, I understand that problem.
pmichaud to me that's the fundamental blocker at the moment.
Tene I'm more referring to the fact that "say $a" doesn't do a lookup in the lexical environment, it looks at $?BLOCK, which won't exist anymore. 19:16
pmichaud uh, that's not correct.
say $a does do a lookup in the lexical environment
find_lex $P17, "$a" 19:17
$P18 = "say"($P17)
oh, if you mean the process of compiling say $a doesn't have $a defined.... you're correct. But that's a very fixable problem.
Tene In the compilation stage. actions.pm:1572
pmichaud I'm not worried about that. 19:18
Tene Okay.
pmichaud we'll just pass the current lexical environment to the compiler, and the compiler can check for lexical variables when one isn't defined in $?BLOCK
Tene Clever.
pmichaud so that's not the hard issue in my eyes :-) 19:19
Tene Okay, thanks.
I didn't think it was the most significant issue, just wondering if you had a solution planned yet.
pmichaud I do now. :-P
but I knew I could solve that problem so hadn't thought about it. The "propagate lexicals to another scope" is trickier. 19:20
it may be that we'll have a special flag that we pass to the compiler that tells it to generate code to move the lexicals to the outer scope when finished.
Although I don't know if Parrot yet allows us to modify another sub's lexical table. 19:21
at any rate, it hasn't been high on my list of things to solve just yet. Interactive mode is still a "nice to have" feature -- not a "gotta have". :-) 19:26
NotFound I've made a proof of concept implementation and it catches the bug.

pmichaud what isn't being answered? I'll try to push it 21:03
I might have just overlooked it. Likely, given how code-focused I've been for the past week.
moritz the question if $_ is rw in a map block 21:04
pmichaud I think yes. Just a sec --
S02: You may add a trait argument of <rw> to allow called routines to modify your value. $_, $!, and $/ are context<rw> by default. 21:06
so, assuming that @array is rw, I'd presume that $_ in a map block would be rw as well (assuming the map block doesn't have a signature)
moritz so the 'rw' doesn't have to be in map's signature? 21:07
pmichaud you mean on the block argument? That would seem to make the block itself rw 21:08
moritz ah right
pmichaud map doesn't assign to the block (I don't think) -- it simply invokes the block with arguments
moritz pmichaud: thanks for the clarification, I'll correct the test 21:11
moritz changed 'svn up' to 'svn up || true' in his local makefile to have 'make spectest' working offline 21:18

pmichaud hyphen
spectest_regression:
-svn up 21:25
or, more precisely
-cd test && svn up
NotFound Yes, that is.
pmichaud ($_ in map block) Also, S04 says this about the 'for' statement: 21:28
If you rely on $_ as the implicit parameter to a block, then $_ is considered read/write by default. That is, the construct:
for @foo {...}
is actually short for:
for @foo <-> $_ {...}
so you can modify the current list element in that case.
so, I'd take it that bare blocks tend to treat $_ as rw
particle pmichaud: the makefile prefix char for nmake is ! iirc 21:30
moritz so it's incompatible? d'oh 21:31

moritz pmichaud: I think fudged tests emit something like "ok $count - skip $reason", so they'll be counted as passing 21:40

pmichaud (from S04-statements/try.t) 21:46
moritz pmichaud: probably that the test won't exit if the implementation is faulty 21:47
pmichaud ....but we use #?rakudo skip for that now
or #?pugs skip or #?<impl> skip
and the whole point of a "try" block is to catch exceptions, including exits. :-)
moritz I have to admit that I fudged that file rather brainlessly 21:48
pmichaud well, I agree that the test needs fudging for Rakudo
I'm just thinking that there may be a lot of 'eval's that were done from before we had the ability to #?impl skip
and I'd like to get rid of those. :-)
moritz I didn't even check if CATCH blocks should work inside or outside the try { ... }, because I hoped that the one who moved it to t/spec/ checked it ;) 21:49
pmichaud inside.
that way the CATCH block has access to the try block's lexicals.
moritz seems logical ;)
how well does eval() work in rakudo? 21:50
pmichaud okay, as long as you aren't trying to access outer-scoped lexicals.
my $a; eval "$a = 4"; # won't work.
moritz t/spec/S29-num/pi.t looks like much fun 21:51
#?rakudo 6 skip 'eval not implemented'
is_approx((eval("Num::pi "), $PI), "Num::pi");
pmichaud unless Num::pi is being declared locally in the test, I don't think we need eval there. 21:52
moritz aye
pmichaud i.e.: is_approx(Num::pi, $PI, "Num::pi") should be sufficient.
moritz that's one of the cases you mentioned

moritz mx $x = eval 'class A { }; A.new()"; say $x.WHAT 21:57

pmichaud no, eval has its own lexical scope 21:57
eval 'my $a = 3;'; does not give the outer scope a lexical $a
at least, I don't think it does.
(checking)
moritz so, what should the example print? "A\\n"?
and is the output useful? 21:58
pmichaud oh, the output would still be 'A', yes
but the classname 'A' would not be in scope.
moritz that's kinda... ugly 21:59

Whiteknight chromatic++ has been on a rampage this weekend! My inbox is filled with tales of his travels 22:50

jonathan hi all 22:59
Back from France.
Three words. I hate flying.
On the upside, I did some Rakudo hacking at Orly airport. And fixed a GC bug in Parrot. 23:01
ci's coming in a bit
NotFound A tax-free patch? 23:02
jonathan It's all EU.
If I want tax-free stuff, I have to nip over to the Ukraine
NotFound I hate eastern europeans, they don't voted the "Chiqui Chiqui" in Eurovision X-) 23:04
jonathan By that logic, as a Brit, I hate almost all of Europe. ;-) 23:05
NotFound Yes, but the easterns the worse.
23:06 toft left
jonathan points out that he moved to east europe from west europe. :-) 23:07
NotFound Anyway, the "Chiqui Chiqui" is destined to conquer the world, like the Macarena X-) 23:10
I'm wondering why ldd parrot shows libstdc++.so in non-c++ build. 23:12
And the same with ldd blib/lib/libparrot.so 23:13
tetragon I see the same on OS X (with otool) 23:14
Some of the build steps are done (on OS X) with g++ for some reason I haven't looked at
The OS X build uses "c++" instead of "ld" as the linker 23:15
NotFound Looks strange, given all "Why C" stuff in parrot faqs.
jonathan NotFound: I believe it's for ICU linking to work. 23:16
Since ICU is written in C++.
tetragon It looks like the Linux config defaults to using g++ when $conf->data->get('link') isn't set
NotFound jonathan: Stranger again.
tetragon jonathan: I've worked with ICU. It has a Java, C++, and a pure C API 23:17

Whiteknight an optimized build fails "make perl6". Is this a known issue or should I create a ticket? 23:17
jonathan Whiteknight: provided there's no obvious link with the other currently open ticket on something not working on an optimized build yes. (I forget what the other currently being discussed issue is...) 23:18
NotFound By the way, I think some document must say that parrot is not written in C, but in the common subset of C and C++. 23:19
Whiteknight chromatic opened one about the optimized build failing a few of the threading tests
jonathan Ah, OK.
That doesn't feel like an obvious link to me.
So please do submit a ticket.
Whiteknight done and done 23:24
i need to submit some follow-up info (i didn't copy the error messages the first time, and need to rebuild)
NotFound Specifying --link=gcc , same result. 23:29
Eevee so. what needs doing that will get my.. ankles wet
