Darren Duncan wondered how one could declare an anonymous multidimensional array value which is compatible with the system Larry introduced. Larry explained that the semicolon notation is intended for slicing subscripts, which are two-dimensional, and it is therefore convenient to represent one dimension with a semicolon. There was further discussion on the syntax. - date_from: 1175149316 date_to: 1175200286 hidden: clarification message_id: 20070329062149.A0192CBA64@x12.develooper.com messages: - 460C21A0.1090709@xmission.com posters: -

Joshua Gatcomb expressed his surprise, as he had not heard of anyone getting Parrot to work on Cygwin for several months. Eric Hanchrow offered to occasionally do a test build on his Cygwin system. Bernhard Schmalhofer suggested that Eric use the smoke system as documented in `docs/tests.pod`. Eric later reported that he could not get r17772 working. Paul Cochrane seconded Eric's report. Ron suggested using the absolute path for PATH, rather than just `blib/lib`. Eric got a bit further using this approach, but then he had another failure. Ron also noted that a few of the stm tests hang, which prevents smoking on Cygwin. chromatic asked if this was `t/pmc/stmlog.t`, but Ron thought it was `t/stm/queue.t` and `t/stm/runtime.t`. - date_from: 1174967756 date_to: 1175210303 hidden: ~ message_id: rt-3.6.HEAD-1687-1174967748-1339.42110-72-0@perl.org messages: - Pine.LNX.4.62.0703270824320.12984@fractal.phys.lafayette.edu - rt-3.6.HEAD-1687-1174999332-635.42110-15-0@perl.org - 20070328184125.GV5735@plum.flirble.org - 20070329223827.GA21805@kirk.peters.homeunix.org - 200703292151.07853.lt@toetsch.at - 20070329224405.GB21805@kirk.peters.homeunix.org - 200703300105.06009.lt@toetsch.at - 200703291608.58475.chromatic@wgz.org - 20070329231811.GX5735@plum.flirble.org - 20070329224405.GB21805@kirk.peters.homeunix.org - 200703300105.06009.lt@toetsch.at - 200703291608.58475.chromatic@wgz.org - 20070329231811.GX5735@plum.flirble.org - rt-3.6.HEAD-1687-1174999332-635.42110-15-0@perl.org - 20070328184125.GV5735@plum.flirble.org - 20070329223827.GA21805@kirk.peters.homeunix.org - 200703292151.07853.lt@toetsch.at - 20070329224405.GB21805@kirk.peters.homeunix.org - 200703300105.06009.lt@toetsch.at - 200703291608.58475.chromatic@wgz.org - 20070329231811.GX5735@plum.flirble.org posters: - email: parrotbug-followup@parrotcode.org name: Steve Peters - email: doughera@lafayette.edu name: Andrew Dougherty - email: nick@ccl4.org name: Nicholas Clark - email: lt@toetsch.at name: Leopold Toetsch - email: chromatic@wgz.org name: chromatic rt_ticket: 'perl #42110' subject: '[perl #42110] [PATCH] Returning values from void functions ' summary: |- Steve Peters reported that a couple of functions are trying to return values from void functions.

" summary: |- In ticket , James Keenan reported that he had experienced problems writing a test for the 'no-body' option in November/December, but hadn't gotten around to it. Because this option is not completely covered by the test suite, it is affecting other code. Therefore James is trying to figure out how it ought to work and had some questions about the warnings he saw. - date_from: 1174842319 date_to: 1175130950 hidden: addressed in rt-3.6.HEAD-30201-1175130936-1545.42073-14-0@perl.org message_id: rt-3.6.HEAD-1687-1174842311-1682.42073-72-0@perl.org messages: - 4606B400.9000209@gmail.com - 537AFFEC-57AC-4795-B2C5-B4F3A0562677@verizon.net - 46077AB2.3070103@gmail.com - 46077BC7.6060403@gmail.com - rt-3.6.HEAD-30557-1174907379-1644.42073-15-0@perl.org - rt-3.6.HEAD-1687-1174984143-1193.42073-15-0@perl.org - rt-3.6.HEAD-30201-1175130936-1545.42073-14-0@perl.org posters: - email: parrotbug-followup@parrotcode.org name: James Keenan - email: parrotcode@gmail.com name: Klaas-Jan Stol - email: jkeen@verizon.net name: James Keenan - email: bugs-parrot-track@netlabs.develooper.com name: James Keenan via RT rt_ticket: 'perl #42073' subject: "[perl #42073] [BUG]: compilers/pirc/Makefile not cleaned up by 'make realclean' " summary: '' - date_from: 1174844646 date_to: 1174844646 hidden: clarification message_id: 20070325174355.12199CBA2F@x12.develooper.com posters: - email: jonathan@cvs.perl.org name: jonathan subject: '[svn:parrot-pdd] r17738 - trunk/docs/pdds/draft' summary: '' - date_from: 1174917692 date_to: 1174917692 hidden: summary message_id: 20070326140117.12945.qmail@x1.develooper.com posters: - email: perlbug-summary@perl.org name: Parrot Bug Summary subject: Parrot Bug Summary summary: '' - date_from: 1174928415 date_to: 1174928415 hidden: ~ message_id: 20070326165940.GA26037@bestpractical.com posters: - email: jesse@fsck.com name: jesse subject: 'First Perl 6 Microgrant - Steve Peters on Parrot Portability' summary: |- Jesse Vincent announced that Steve Peters was the first recipient of the Perl 6 microgrant.

He thought it might be a good occasion to make a scientific publication about Parrot. Alberto felt that bringing Parrot to the attention of the scientific community would be a gain for both universities and Parrot. He offered to help with accommodation but not with writing the talk. Jonathan Worthington thought it was a good idea although he wouldn't be able to attend the conference. He noted that he had previously spoken to an academic audience and that it was challenging. He wanted to see the gap bridged, but noted that his own experience had involved some negative responses from a theory-oriented group. - date_from: 1174953149 date_to: 1174953149 hidden: ~ message_id: rt-3.6.HEAD-30201-1174953136-1338.42105-72-0@perl.org posters: - email: parrotbug-followup@parrotcode.org name: Richard Hundt rt_ticket: 'perl #42105' subject: '[perl #42105] memory leak in PCCMETHOD together with Parrot_runops_fromc ' summary: |- Richard Hundt reported a memory leak, using ticket to draw attention to it. - date_from: 1174958990 date_to: 1174976413 hidden: ~ message_id: rt-3.6.HEAD-1687-1174958981-1717.42106-72-0@perl.org messages: - 87zm5z9uyf.fsf@offby1.atm01.sea.blarg.net - rt-3.6.HEAD-30201-1174959480-499.42106-15-0@perl.org - rt-3.6.HEAD-1687-1174985701-49.42106-15-0@perl.org posters: - email: parrotbug-followup@parrotcode.org name: James Keenan - email: offby1@blarg.net name: Eric Hanchrow rt_ticket: 'perl #42106' subject: '[perl #42106] t/pmc/iterator.t t/src/io.t failed on Linux ' summary: |- In ticket , James Keenan reported some errors that he had encountered with `make test` on Linux.

He wanted to name it 'rindolf' and wondered if Punie would be a good basis for the effort. He also wanted to know if he could have commit access to the repository. Allison Randal replied that it was an unusual approach and that she had doubts about the implementation plan, but that she would be interested in knowing what obstacles and successes came out of the effort. She thought that Punie would not be useful to Shlomi, given his plan. Her suggestion with regard to the repository was that he develop outside the tree and distribute it as a separate loadable module. Shlomi argued for being liberal with commit bits, and expressed his concern that the name Punie suggests that it is a toy. There was some continued discussion on these points, and also on Shlomi's proposal. title: perl5-porters title: Weekly Perl 6 mailing list summary
