LANGUAGES.STATUS
Mitchell N Charity
I found (on linux x86 [1]):
These languages failed to build:
BASIC/interpreter
jako
miniperl
tcl
And these languages were quite broken (bad make test failures):
BASIC/compiler [2]
m4
ruby
scheme
LANGUAGES.STATUS says they all work.
If my result is typical, adding a
S: Not working as of 0.0.14 release.
line to each of these entries seems appropriate.
(2) Also, these languages' directories could really use README's:
python
plot
README's saying just what their LANGUAGES.STATUS entries say
("elsewhere" and "broken and abandoned", respectively).
(3) Finally, this suggests a serious need for expectation management.
The version documentation should perhaps say, early and often,
something very vaguely like
Several of the languages targeting parrot were not working at release time.
They were waiting for objects. Waiting for this release.
While they waited, enough things changed to break them.
The purpose of this release is to help them get unstuck and resynced.
In the meantime, you might look at languages/perl6, forth, cola, and urm,
which already work. [3]

[1] redhat 7.1 linux-x86-gcc2.96, perl 5.6.0, parrot_2004-02-26_080000.
[2] Actually, BASIC/compiler wasn't a "make test" failure (no Makefile).
BASIC_README points to the wumpus2.bas example, which failed with
error:imcc:parse error, unexpected LOCAL, expecting $end
suggesting obsolete code is being generated.
[3] I list these languages because they demonstrate "parrot is _real_"
and being used "professionally". And cola draws a mandelbrot. :)

tcl failed to build? What was the error?
(my current repository doesn't look much like what's in cvs, but if
there's a problem, I want to make sure it's gone from the next release.)

cleanups:
* Disable languages/jako/examples/sub.jako, since Parrot / IMCC
don't support .global int x
* Change languages/jako/examples/pmc.jako to preallocate a nice
PerlString PMC before attempting to set to a string value.
* Fix Curses.jako library to not use the '.so' suffix when referring
to the curses library.
So, modulo the post I just made about languages/jako/examples/fact.jako
and Parrot / IMCC inconsistent behavior, things are basically working,
such as they are.

Yes, this was one of the breakages from when Melvin tightened things up.
I'd commit a patch for it, but I have, in the margins of my notebook, a
reworked version that is much cleaner and implements more. I have a few
more things to clean up before I let this version go.
Someone with commit privs, feel free to change the status to "broken,
but will be fixed RSN."
I am close to another release, but don't think I'm going to be able to
get it to in time for the 29th.
Thanks, mitchell.

Ok, they both fail on my perl v5.6.0, and work on my v5.8.2.
The scheme test failures are perhaps a dependence of the underlying
scheme compiler (written in perl). The symptom under 5.6.0 is a

Inconsistency detected by ld.so: rtld.c: 1252: dl_main: Assertion
`_rtld_local._dl_rtld_map.l_prev->l_next == _rtld_local._dl_rtld_map.l_next'
failed!
I don't know why /lib/libc.so.6 breaks when executed like that, but everything
seems to work anyway. Portage reports that libc is version 2.3.2-r9

Just to round out the record, here's a summary of what I got on
Solaris 8, with Sun's compiler and Sun's perl5.005_03 for
'make languages' and 'make languages-test':
make languages:
befunge: OK
bf: OK
cola: NOT OK
gcc -Wall -pedantic -g -c parser.c
sh: gcc: not found
m4: NOT OK (lines folded for ease of reading)

Couldn't load 'runtime/parrot/dynext/libpcre':
ld.so.1: ../../parrot: fatal: runtime/parrot/dynext/libpcre:

This is on my TODO list for 'Parrot m4 0.0.3'. I'll remove the 'libpcre'
dependency and use plain POSIX regexes.

I'll reset the version checks to 5.005, but propably won't put much work
into 5.005 support. Let's wait until Parrot is maturing from Perl5.

Ditch plot, it was a quick and dirty attempt at a scheme interpreter
based on closures at OSCON last year that failed dismally. I keep
meaning to do something properly now that we have objects, but it won't
be in the parrot tree 'til it's working.
