alvis I will be unavailable for #ps today. Below is my report. 18:09
What I did:
* Approximately, one week, perhaps two, depending on various constraints, away from completeing an alternative, conforming C implemenatation of m0. The major milestone of this implementation is for it to pass the very same tests of the present C implementation of m0.
Note: This new implementation accomplishes several specification objectives and two ROADMAP goals: 18:10
(1) uses fix-width C99 types; and
(2) employs "nice malloc/calloc wrappers.
It also uses the "Boehm-Demers-Weiser conservative garbage
collector" with which to implement the 'gc_alloc' opcode. (Use of
the boehm collector is not, necessarily, the optimal solution; it
does, however, allow for something against which to test the
implementation and, fwiw, it is rather fast.)
The most immediate, subsequent milestones are,
(1) inclussion of mmap and offsets into m0b files -- a ROADMAP goal; and
(2) the inclusion of SHA256 checksum verification -- a ROADMAP goal
Note: I have also been reviewing bytecode verifcation processes. I plan
to work-in some minimal, bytecode verification processes while
working on the inclusion of mmap. (These will be little more than a
start on the road of bytecode verification.)
* Reviewed/reviewing 'docs/pdds/draft/pdd13_bytecode.pod' and 'docs/parrotbyte.pod'. (I am *very*, *very* uncertain/unclear/confused about these documents.) 18:11
* Added myself as release manager for 'Sep 18, 2012 - 4.8.0' release (so there'd be no gaps between release managers).
* Continued work on 'ayardley/documentation_revisions'
* Almost complete with fixes to 'ayardley/fixup_parrot_github_release'
EOR (And I apologize for the poor formatting above, if any.)

cotto howdy 19:31
brrt hello 19:32
benabik hi 19:34
NotFound Hola 19:39
cotto How's the week been? 19:40
benabik hectic, but that's not really related to parrot... 19:41
cotto same here, perhaps to a slightly lesser extent 19:43
benabik Talkative bunch here. 20:00
rurban Sorry, I'm also late 20:21
I reviewed the branches to be merged, io_cleanup1 and threads.
io_cleanup1: whiteknight wanted to discuss some problems with moritz on rakudo, otherwise it looks fine. 20:22
threads looks also fine
Coke rurban: you're mostly on cygwin, ja? 20:25
rurban Coke: Nope, debian testing. cygwin just because there are the most errors 20:36
I tested linux, solaris and cygwin
with gcc and clang -faddress-sanitizer
benabik Sanitize all the addresses! 20:44
21:15 bluescreen joined
rurban benabik: Only one address problem remaining. github.com/parrot/parrot/issues/766 22:28
