Reini Who is in attendance today? 13:32
Util I am, but late. 13:33
Reini I only did one branch, but this is a big one
DONE: 13:34
* smoke-me/rpa-offset-gh1152 OPT
+ Rewrote ResizablePMCArray with moving offset, esp on shift.
Even better than nqp/qrpa. 20% faster overall. #1152
+ Change ResizablePMCArray.delete to throw out of bounds errors,
but just warn on deprecated delete[0] with size 0 for backcompat. #1153
+ Add check for illegal delete of capture blocks in PGE.match #1154
+ Add new traceflag -t20 for ResizablePMCArray states.
+ Rewrote docs/pmc/array.pod
+ Added tests to t/pmc/resizablepmcarray.t to cover all offset cases. #1152
WORK
* smoke-me/embed-gh829 FIX
* analyze performance loss with --gc gms #1141 (20%), see parrot-bench OPT
BLOCKED
* smoke-me/signal-tests + smoke-me/test-capture-gh892 need windows smokes CAGE
* smoke-me/vms-gh866 needs a vms smoke FEAT
Too much wait. I'll just merge them today. Look good to me.
So basically parrot is now the fastest in all the releases covered in parrot-bench
earlier release do not build for me on 64bit
nor -m32 13:35
Util Done: Attended Atlanta.pm.org until very late last night. Briefly discussed the 2015 Perl 6 release. Mostly had discussions on archives from the Perl 5 Advent calendars. 13:37
.end
Reini We are also organizing the next big German Perl Workshop in Dresden next year. Thinking what talks to do, or not 13:38
Had a long meeting with them last night until 1am :)
Util Reini: After merge, please leave smoke-me/signal-tests + smoke-me/test-capture-gh892 in place (instead of deleting them) for a while, in case a Win32 problem turns up. 13:39
German Workshop: around when next year?
Reini Middle of May
yes, will do. travis is acting a bit weird lately, They updated to Ubuntu precise, hence I removed some wrong deps 13:40
Util Thx
Reini: Congratulations, and Reini++ , for performance gains! 13:41
lizmat_ Reini++ :-) 13:42
lizmat goes back to lurking 13:43
Reini And we still have 20% for the GC, ~15% for the pcc and maybe 80-100% for the jit lateron
moar is still better and faster, but they don't support lock-less threading and pass less tests.
so we have some time left on our clock 13:44
esp. their gcc and calling convention is okay
GC, not gcc
after this release I will do less, switch to p2 a bit, then perl5 updates for 5.22 13:45
Util I understand doing less. Your sprint has been very impressive. 13:47
Reini I had not much else to do. the perl5 compiler is finished, and I had to wait for the next projects
the GC slowdown would be important also. its either the generations, but I doubt that, or the stringpool 13:48
I wonder how many new failures perl6 will get when delete[invalid index] is now called. I only saw 2 fails, but I'm not if they are regressions 13:52
not sure if 13:53
Util I wonder also. I will kep an eye out for it. 13:56
Anything else to discuss? From anyone? 13:57
Reini nope
Util Happy Holidays, everyone! 13:58
Meeting adjourned.
Reini oops, t/01-sanity/08-var-array.t test 11 looks like one
I'll check
