vbnc Report #10

[Rolf Bjarne Kvinge]

This week:
- Finished bugfixing!

The compiler is now selfhosted (I tried up to 5 iterations, they all succeeded).

How to try it out:
- Checkout vbnc from subversion.
- Load vbnc\vbnc.sln in VS2005 and build (don't run). It should work
right out-of-the-box.
- You have now built the compiler: vbnc\bin\vbnc.exe
- Run vbnc\bin\bootstrap.bat to bootstrap the compiler (this will
create bootstrap.exe which is the bootstrapped compiler). The compiler
is no Ferrari, so it will take a few minutes (2:30 - 3:00 minutes on
my machine).
- Or run vbnc\bin\stresstest.bat to try the 5 iterations. (You'll need
some more patience for this one to complete ;)

Next week:
- Sleep.
