plobsing What I Did: 18:30
* propose and start implementing inside-out-ctx
+ moves parrot-native attributes from callcontext to register frame for easier access
+ moves current register frame into interp for faster access (16% faster on mops_intval) 18:31
* various code spelunking involving exceptions, calling conventions
What I Plan:
* complete inside-out-ctx and initiate merge preparations
* ensure interp['packfile'] is updated consistently
* investigate possibility of 'uncatch' op to rethrow without managing multiple throw points

cotto_work How'd the past week go? 19:38
whiteknight pretty good, I think
kid51 joins 19:40
Twas a very quiet week in master 19:41
... and, I think, in branches
cotto_work I expect a bit more activity this week.
any comments or questions? The threading code seems to be going down in popularity. 19:42
whiteknight (src/threads.c)--
that and security issues came up today, that we are going to want to start putting more emphasis on
cotto_work I saw some interesting conversations that I haven't had time to catch up on. 19:43
whiteknight now that we know it's becoming a hot topic, we can start focusing on more, and more productive conversations
cotto_work: you had some ideas written up about sandboxing at one point, right? 19:44
or was that somebody else?
cotto_work I don't think it was me.
possibly allison
whiteknight you architects all look the same to me 19:45
I'll ask her about it
NotFound It was allison, yes. 19:46
allison whiteknight: PDD18 19:47
whiteknight allison: Those are all your ideas? not anything else I need to hunt for? 19:48
allison whiteknight: that's all that's documented so far (IIRC)
whiteknight: happy to do a braindump also
whiteknight: (IRC, phone, pick your medium) 19:49
whiteknight allison: I would be very happy to hear a braindump sometime, if you have time. IRC is best
19:49 bubaflub joined
allison whiteknight: I actually have more ideas now, after working on sandboxing in Ubuntu the past year :) 19:49
whiteknight awesome. I like borrowing experience

cotto_work I wish I'd seen chromatic's post before #ps started. It looks like he's got some important points. 19:51

19:53 lucian joined
cotto_work any goals for the week? 19:55
kid51 Umm, I had a q1q 19:56
cotto_work kid51: my apologies. Go ahead.
kid51 GSOC admins and mentors: Are you ready to file your reports?
cotto_work is 19:57
bubaflub already filed
kid51 bubaflub: Here I'm focusing on the mentors, as they're more directly accountable to PaFo.
bubaflub ah, right. my bad.
cotto_work The deadline is Friday. Earlier is better, of course. 19:58
kid51 allison? coke? whiteknight? darbelo? (one other?)
dukeleto?
allison haven't filed mine yet, but will tomorrow
I have already talked with lucian about the outcome
kid51 whiteknight? 20:01
whiteknight haven't yet. will soon

cotto_work submitted 20:04
any other issues, comments, pie, etc? 20:05
soh_cah_toa well as far as goals go, i really want to get going on the debug format stuff but i need a lot of help from whiteknight or anybody else for that matter 20:06
whiteknight: do you think you could dedicate some time to that?
whiteknight yessir
soh_cah_toa great :)
cotto_work Is there anything else someone would like to bring up? 20:12
whiteknight nosir 20:15
cotto_work Let's call it a wrap. I'd recommend reading chromatic's latest blog post. I have a feeling it'll be a motivator for change. 20:17
20:17 soh_cah_toa left 20:23 NotFound left
whiteknight post-posting, since I didn't do it earlier: 20:27
WHAT I DID:
* worked on whiteknight/frontend_parrot2 branch with plobsing++. Making good progress there. Still failing a few tests, mostly dealing with precise formatting of error messages and backtraces.
* Talked a lot with plobsing about his inside-out-ctx branch, and other projects.
* Lots of work on Rosella, updating various libraries and prototyping several new ones
* Digging through lots of code. Reviewing various bits of GSoC code, looking at Eclesia++'s eria project, and a few other things.
* Worked on several Winxed features: improved namespace syntax, debug syntax, new frontend, basic MMD, various fixes, etc. Some of them merged, some are still in development
WHAT I WILL DO:
* Everything. The list keeps growing
