Goal call for 0.0.9

Anyone got any others? We can get the list together and then
prioritize from there.

The second one requires more comment. Right now, we have a set of
language-independent PMCs (Array, Continuation, Coroutine, Key,
Pointer, etc.) and a set of Perl PMCs (PerlArray, PerlString, etc.).
But the exact methods implemented on each one are a little tangled,
and many of the Parrot PMCs refer to and create Perl PMCs on the fly.
For example, when you increment an nonexistent Array slot, it
automatically creates a PerlInt to hold the number. Similarly,
PerlUndef gets spontaneously created all over the place. Some of these
problems can probably be fixed by renaming PMCs (eg PerlUndef ->
Undef); others by making a generic base PMC and having the Perl PMC
inherit from it; and still others need to be rethought.
On a related note, we should probably have a test case that tries
every possible vtable entry for every PMC and makes sure that the
result makes sense (mostly meaning that things throw 'operation not
supported' type errors when appropriate.)

*) Careful elimination of all compiler warnings, particularly on non x86
platforms, and for builds with non-default INTVAL size
This is going to need some care to work out why some warnings happen, and
find ways to re-order/re-pack/re-size structures to avoid both these gcc
warnings:
In file included from ../include/parrot/register.h:16,
from ../include/parrot/interpreter.h:42,
from ../include/parrot/parrot.h:160,
from perlhash.c:24:
.../include/parrot/string.h:59: warning: padding struct size to alignment boundary
In file included from ../include/parrot/interpreter.h:51,
from ../include/parrot/parrot.h:160,
from perlhash.c:24:
.../include/parrot/debug.h:53: warning: padding struct to align `value'
over all platforms. (which will be fun)
and I think
*) Rationalisation of how we make bytecode
I think that the assembler is slower than it could be. I feel that the
"correct" solution is a perl front end talking to a C bytecode generation
library. I feel the library ought to be common, so that it would be possible
for imcc (or anything else) to use the bytecode generation library direct,
rather than having to emit PASM only for it to be re-interpreted.

I agree here. There are still *lots* of warnings. I've slowly whittled
away at them, but there are lots to go. Fixing some of them might also
help re-claim the Tru64 systems, which are currently failing with
unaligned access errors in the tinderbox.
Similarly, it may be a good time to revisit our "core" platforms and see
if they all work. A lot of the library stuff, especially the shared
library stuff, is rather dlopen-specific. I suspect the perl6 stuff
probably doesn't work now with AIX, HP/UX, OS/2, Unicos, or VMS, to name
just a few. I'd be very happy to be proven wrong.
It may be that 0.0.9 isn't the time for such portability issues (which are
*hard*). That's ok, too, but I thought I'd raise the issue.

(ok, except for intlist.t failure, which is addressed in my followup to
bug id perl #17084)
and GNU gcc-3.2
(ok, except for lots of padding/alignment warnings).
Thanks for running the tests. If you're really ambitious, you could
cd languages/perl6
make
and see what happens, but unless you've got bison and flex installed,
don't bother (I submitted a patch to pregenerate the files, but it's
currently stuck in the queue with other (mostly unrelated) imcc isues.)
Now why that isn't part of the default build, I don't know.

None of the stuff in languages/ is part of the default build, and I think
it should stay that way. It seems like bad form to, by default, build
parts of a package that the user may not want to use.

Yes, I agree in general. But the down side is that it's neither built nor
tested by most users (including the tinderboxes!). On balance, I think we
should use bad form and build parts that users may not want to use in
order to give them a workout.

IMHO it's fine to build few extra parts by default to test them while
we are still developing. Those parts can always be removed for
release versions.
At least perl6 (and imcc which it needs) could be added to default
build, and perhaps also scheme if it's going to be first fully
working language.

For development and testing, I believe that we should exercise (and then
exorcise) all the bugs in all the languages we can find.
I guess it should be a configuration option of what to build, defaulting to
everything portable.

(My fault. imcc needs to be built with $(LINK), not $(LD). I'll send a
patch separately.)

Soon, parrot will use perl5's $Config{ld} and $Config{lddlflags} which are
variables designed for just this purpose of building shared libraries.

This is a bigger (but very real!) problem. Building a shared library is
not simply repackaging the existing objects. If we want to build a shared
library, we should re-compile the components with -fpic or equivalent. The
actual variable we need is perl5's $Config{cccdlflags}.

I'd like to hand this one off to someone who understands why we have to
build a shared library in the first place and what, eventually, we might
have to do with it. (For example, what's the plan for platforms that
can't do dynamic loading?)

Yes. Most folks don't run a tinderbox, and not everyone pays attention to
the ones that are running. Further, the tinderbox only samples a small
subset of the target platforms.
