Pm's #parrotsketch report for 2006-12-05

Miscellaneous:
  * still encountering segfaults (mdiep++ is working on some)
  * played with SDL a bit, to see about driving it from perl6
  * walked through a lengthy discussion of the compiler toolchain
    on #parrot -- converting that log into a descriptive document
  * drafted new text for http://www.parrotcode.org/misc/parrotsketch.html
HLLCompiler:
  * refactored 'command_line' into separate 'eval', 'interactive',
    and 'evalfiles' methods
  * updated 'interactive' interface to honor ctrl+d (Coke++)
languages/perl6:
  * major effort this week was adding quoted terms to perl6,
    including "...", '...', <...>, <<...>>, << '...' "..." >>
  * Got simple multisubs to work (mdiep++ for quick Parrot fix)
  * Implemented a simple version of infix:<..>
  * updated t/01-sanity/ from pugs repo
  * countdown to pugs test suite: binding, for, try, use
items in queue:
  * still need to review pheme for chromatic (pmichaud--)
  * develop prototype exception handling in PIR
  * implement perl 6 scalars
  * implement for loop
  * properly handle infix:<,> and list context
  * develop a hll type <-> parrot type mapping strategy for perl6, past-pm

Waiting for resolutions/fixes for:
  - RT #40806: [BUG] IMCC - embedded source locations (#line nnn "file.pir")
  - RT #40626: [BUG] :vtable fails for subclasses of core classes
  - working subclasses of capture.pmc

  No questions thus far this week.
